Half-OT: Switch Between Audio or Data Contents

[SkyFrontier]

Here's a tricky one.
On mixed audio/data CDs I have this issue which may be easy to fix but currently I can't see how.
When I insert a mixed content CD, currently I can't see the audio tracks at all, even after using the old trick of ejecting the CD just to put it back again.

*In an early installment, I had a nice, gentle properties tab (right click the CD drive, select properties and locate this specialized tab) which allowed me to see all the data/audio sessions and conveniently select them*.

Currently I have to run CDroller and "open as audio", then select a track, wait for the software to extract it, then listen to the track, one at a time.

I think this tab was from a 3rd party software, Nero perhaps.

Google is not helping *over the years*, as I need this and often do some searches but get nothing as a result.

1. Can any of you point me alternatives to this, please?

2. Could XYplorer interfere on this, as I'm actually trying to merely access the contents of a mixed optical media from inside the file manager?

2.a What about XYplorer being able to display the several sessions of a multi-session CD, then allowing exploration of each individually, at convenience? This would be (another) unique feature for a file manager, as far as I can tell...

This is not my area of expertise, but do check out the Gizmo site, if you haven't yet...

No, Kunkel, it's not about editing rather than seeing and eventually executing audio or data content from the file manager.
Thanks!

Yea but Audacity or one of the others might have some DLL or other component that will make the files recognizable by Windows, and hence XY... (Maybe?)
