Okay, so what *are* you you using to try to play the CD?
Someone suggested cdcontrol, but these days a lot of 
computers don't come with the cable to get analog audio
directly off the drive. That's why the FAQ suggests xmcd, 
although it's far from the only option; most of the big 
desktop environments come with a CD playing application
that gets the data digitally.  For example, I think the
Gnome application is "brasero".
