Well, my understanding of it is that you just need the 
standard "Foreign File Access", such as High-Sierra, to 
have access to these files. They will be available as 
text files only, but if that's all you need... You can 
still Use On Location or such kind of indexing software 
to have a quick access to the CD content.
That's the way it works for audio-CD which appears as 
standard Mac icons on the desktop (altough we can't 
access their content).
