An audio CD does have a filesystem, of a very rudimentary type, which is what an audio CD player uses to find the tracks. But the standard Linux filesystem drivers don't know about it, so you can't mount it. If you install the driver - it's called cdfs I think - then you can mount it and see the tracks as audio files.
