Phil,
Maybe I'm missing something (actually, it's quite likely that I am),
but I think that if you can play ANY CDs, you can probably play CD_track
files. FWIW, I can access Nautilus CD_Track files from either Nautilus or
from the Windows file manager (by associating the files with the Media
Player [see p. 451 in your Windows 3.1 manual]). You get a directory from
your CDROM, associate the file if necessary, and doubleclick on it to
launch.
All I have is a Sony Laser Library CDROM connected to an SBPro audio
card. Before I figured out how to connect the external CDROM to the sound
card to route sound to my desktop speakers, I got CD sound and Nautilus CD
tracks from headphones connected to the CDROM drive. But I think that if
either your CDROM card or your audio card can interpret CD_track files,
that you can hear the output from somewhere. What I was missing before the
sound card was the ability to play .wav and .mid files, because the SLL
plays only CDs and some types of CDROM "multimedia" discs.
