This is odd: I can only mount some of the CDs I've put into my CD-ROM. Why?

I've tried 4 CDs: three music CDs and one Quake 3 CD. The Quake CD and one
music CD (which, incidentally, has some Windows videos on it) mount fine.
The other music CDs give me this error when mounting:

milwaukee:/home/david# mount /dev/cdrom 
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       or too many mounted file systems

What gives? The default mount type is iso9660---could that be the problem?
Are not all CDs iso9660s? I've noticed that when I close the CD tray on the
working CDs, there is a little spin-up that's absent on the CDs that won't
mount. 

Thanks.
