I managed to play a audio Cdrom, using:
1- mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cdrom
2- playAudioCd /fs/cdrom
in the shell
I cannot use MediaPlay, error ‘Can’t open Cdrom’

Is there a better way to use it?

You should be able to use the MediaPlayer application through Photon.
The ‘Can’t open cdrom’ message is indicating that another process has
the cdrom open, and it can’t share, or that the cdrom is not properly
mounted. Try changing your mount line to:

mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cd0

and then run the MediaPlayer.

I added the following line to my ,profile file:
mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cd0

as you advised me. Thanks. Now I can use MediaPlayer from boot

In the options of phplay, you can change the path where the cd resides too…
