I didn't see that article, but                                                   
I have seen several different CD-ROM drives that could also play "music" CD's.
They don't have all the features that the music CD players have, though.

(I had read an article more than a year ago that said something about this.
They said something about how a "music" CD player would not have to do all the
seeks required of CD-ROM.  It would just have to continuously read in the data.
etc, etc...
But, I have definitely seen several that do both.)
