Depends on your view point. There are tracks , that could be interpeted
as files.
True there are no directories , unless you count sessions as ones ...

They wont read the data. They will send a PLAY command to the drive,
which would
then read the data, convert it to analog form, send that thru a wire to
the
sound card, where it is mixed to the Line-out if the card.

I prefer the normal way : read the data , send it to /dev/audio,
like with music from hard-drives, floppies , ZIP media , MO disks ...
