New Music CDs and Linux?

This weekend I purchased two music CDs. I tried to listen to each of them in my
Linux box at home without success. I attempted to open the cd by clicking the
desktop icon but got errors like "you do not have permission to enter /mnt/cdrom."
I then attempted to mount the cd from the command line interface which returned no
error, but any attempt to cd there gave me an IO error. I forget the exact message
it gave me but I can retry it tonight if anyone deems it necessary. (I can
open/read data cds just fine however.)
Inspection of the CDs themselves revealed a suspicious looking first track making me
think that perhaps they were the copy-protected CDs that you could use a black
marker on to un-protect. However, I then dropped them in my Dell Inspiron 5000
(Win2K) at work. In this computer, they appear to be normal audio CDs. I can see
and listen to the tracks as one would expect.
Does anyone have any insight as to what is happening?
Thanks,
-Mike-
