You need the files "Audio CD Access" and "Foreign File Access" in your
System Folder.  Put them there (from your distribution CD-ROM software
disk, or from apple.com via anonymous ftp) and reboot.

If you intend to use CD-ROMs formatted in either ISO 9660 or High Sierra
format, you'll need the additional files "ISO 9660 File Access" or "High
Sierra File Access" which come from the same places.
