Anything on the disc you put in?

You can't mount audiocd's (unless you have audio fs support, which I
don't think is standard in linux).

Blank discs of course can not be mounted.

I do have a DVD burner that can only mount DVD's these days.  The CD
laser appears to have failed.

You can try:

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0
wodim -dev /dev/sr0 -atip
wodim -dev /dev/sr0 -toc

Maybe one of them can give you some idea what the disc you put in is.
