So while there now exists: Browse - USB - cdrom, there is nothing beyond this (cdrom has no contents - failed mount command).

To this specific point, there's nothing to browse on a Red Book audio CD. Yes, there's a so-called Table of Contents but it's a data structure providing only "an index of the start positions of the tracks in the program area and lead-out." Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA)
But wait, there's more (the old guy said but only after he pressed "post")
In the same reference it says
Quote:Data access from computers
Unlike on a DVD or CD-ROM, there are no "files" on a Red Book audio CD; there is only one continuous stream of LPCM audio data, and a parallel, smaller set of 8 subcode data streams. Computer operating systems, however, may provide access to an audio CD as if it contains files. For example, Windows represents the CD's Table of Contents as a set of Compact Disc Audio track (CDA) files, each file containing indexing information, not audio data.
In Linux systems the app cdparanoia can provide this access. It's available in the Raspbian repository. Ashley and I use it to enumerate the number of tracks on the audio CD (which it does by reading the CD's TOC). It's also used by abcde for ripping the tracks.
