Once the a Data cd is mounted (auto or not ) it should appear in /media/
"some mount point" this is the new way mounting is suppose to work across
most distros
i dont use suse so idk for sure

this could be an audio cd , kde has a way to view a cd as an mp3's so you
can rip them seamlessly but you need to have the correct software installed
to make this work too like codecs to play and rip to mp3's  ( i dont think
this is the case )

after the cd is mounted you can open a konsole/console window and use mount
to see mounted filesystems and where they are mounted also use dmesg to see
kernel messages about your system ( if your getting errors on dmesg about
your CD-Rom device you could have a scratched CD or bad CD and this can
cause some weird problems if this happens with many disk it could be they
way those cd's where burned or the drive it self )
