What is the model of your Wii? RVL-001 or RVL-101?
(or maybe RVL-201 (Wii Mini))?
Older Wii drives can read DVD-ROM, DVD-R and DVD+R (bootype set to DVD-ROM). RW types might work, but unlikely to be useful.
The drives are strictly DVD only (Nintendo optical discs are very similar to DVDs). None of them will read CD-R(W) or CD-ROM.

Never heard of something like this. The laser has to focus on a different area (depth) for reading CDs. For CDs the data layer is very near to the label side (never scratch a CD from the label side -- guaranteed to be deadly for the disc) while the data layer for DVDs is in the middle. DVDs are like a glued "sandwich"
OK so there its not possible without modifying the disc drive im assuming
I think ther's no way to get CD 's playing....as mentioned before, but you could hear to your Songs via USB HDD or something like that... 
Good Evening.
Here from the Wii Modchip Side (D2pro) - No,Wii can not read/play CD´s/CD-R´s/CD-RW´s.
Good Days.

Just tried again. Click, click, click. The drive can't focus. That noise is exactly when the lens (!) moves up and down trying to find the data layer.
Another nope, probably an IOS and software "issue" (can't call it an issue since it isn't intended to work): An external USB CD drive is not detected by Wii-MC-SS and/or WiiXplorer.
If somebody has a working Wii Linux installation and an external CD drive: Please try if it plays CDDA. Of course this is useless beyond any description. But it would be fun!
That actually is a good idea to use wii linux, ill try that after school
Sorry. I never tried it. There are plenty of other devices I use Linux on.
What has been released for Wii feels more like a proof of concept. Not one of the easiest things. Just search for Wii Linux. https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii-Linux
If I felt better right now I would try it.
Let me think about a minute.....ehm...no, only the distributions suggested in the link, provided by @KleinesSinchen
