Once a day, I read some useful information about that in a FAQ.
It says that not all drives can digitally read audio tracks, at least
for SCSI devices. The TOSHIBA XM-3401TA can read the audio tracks contents,
but for this, you'll have to issue the proper SCSI commands...
(should be described in the SCSI-2 specs/command-set)

No idea on this subject...
