I have had a few (I think only 2) CDs that actually included a few different formats in the filesystem, otoh ogg, flac, MP3, and wav. That was a nice surprise when I was preparing to rip them.
Konqueror, IIRC, will show you “virtual” MP3s & FLACs, complete with file sizes and all, when you put in an audio CD. You can copy these files to your hard disk. They are created on the fly, though.
They were probably a variant of the unofficial format known as an MP3 CD. Basically CDs which contain computer audio files. CD Audio discs as specified by the redbook standard do not even have a filesystem and don’t contain files.
I am pretty sure they experienced some KDE Ingenuity.
Example:
You can see they can’t be real files due to their total size:
Unfortunately, at least on Arch it seems a bit broken. The CD keeps spinning at low speed with audible random searches and the file transfer speed is abysmal. Copying out one 3.5MiB MP3 took it almost 2 minutes.

I just opened it as storage in dolphin, and all the files were there neatly organised.
Yup, that’s done by AudioCD Kioslave.
Oh I had no idea, that’s a very nice feature then!

Huh that’s actually pretty nifty, I personally use nemo but tbh I haven’t inserted a CD I don’t think ever to look at what it does
