Thanks to all for the suggestions.
After much wasted time, it turns out the solution was:
mount /dev/cdrom ... then several players worked fine.
Until doing that, nothing worked.

> John Macey asked: Do you have VLC installed?
Yes, I tried VLC but that did not work.
> Matt Graham suggested mplayer or xine or vcdimager
Tried all three, but none worked.

I did have all the latest updates (Linux Mint)
and I did install and I tried brasero ... still no joy.
But after much searching on the 'net, I finally
found a solution which was:
$ mount /dev/cdrom
Then all the different players worked.
