No, this is clearly false in general.  You wrote yourself that you
have more than one device where you can put such disk.  If you
happen to have more that one CD with a volume label "Tax2005", which
is far from impossible, and you put another already and now you are
sticking the original one into another reader, then it will NOT get
mounted under /media/Tax2005.

How come when you have exactly zero gains and you create a huge
mess elsewhere?
