'Load disc:0' (which I had not tried before) opens a Windows Explorer
window and, in this, clicking on DVD RW Drive (E:) leads to the Windows
error 'Insert a disc', as you said. The data, or music CD, is ejected,
and the DVD RW Drive (E:) entry disappears from the Explorer window.

Having set RPCEmu Config > Discs > CD-ROMs > CD Drives > 1, a CD drive
icon appears on the iconbar. Clicking on that icon opens the root
directory, etc, of a data CD, as I said - it still does - and files can
be read, as normal. However, a music CD causes RPCEmu to vanish.
