If possible it's preferable to include the CD image in the archive, like we've done for example with Daggerfall, Faery Tale Adventure II or Warcraft II. In this case it looks like the audio tracks will have to be ripped separately, so it may be good to safeguard the complete CD image elsewhere; but at least the data track should be included intact into the archive, together with a minimum installation and a script to launch the whole thing.

Actually, the CD Audio tracks could be converted to OGG Vorbis and played back with appropriate configuration. Depending on how large the converted files are and how much they interfere with compression of the whole game, we can have both the game and CD Audio!
