You don't actually need to mount them to play them; others can talk about the benefits of mounting audio cds. But all you need to do to *play* them is to run an audio mixer that works with your audio system, and a cd player. They read the raw device (generally /dev/cdrom which is a link to /dev/sr0), not the mounted filesystem.
