While radio works for many things, it can't work directly on the CD-ROM.
Why?  Because the audio from an audio CD only goes to the headphone jack.
It is not converted to a mono .au file and placed on the SCSI bus.

You'd have to take the output from the audio jack, wire the left and right
output together, reduce the gain, and feed it into the mic input connection.
Then you can digitize the CD audio and use radio.
