No, that's just the mount point.  A CD player needs access to the
actual CD-ROM *device*.  My CDROM is an ATAPI device, so it is on my
machine, /dev/hdb.  It used to be proprietary soundblaster CD-ROM
drive, and they turn up on /dev/sbpcd.  There's probably a symbolic
link from /dev/cdrom to your actual device, but if not, look in
/etc/fstab to see what it is.
