You can use something like InfraRecorder to save your existing CD into an ISO file, and then use Virtual CloneDrive to emulate having a CD-ROM drive and mount the ISO.

I used an older form of this method in the past as I was tired of finding no cd patches whenever I had game updates break the functionality. Depending on the game’s DRM, it may not allow using an emulated drive, so ymmv. I have personally not had issues with the method myself. Since then I have digitally bought titles from Steam.

Hope this helps!

I am using Youtube Music premium - there is a setting you can enable under Playback & Restrictions called ‘Don’t play music videos’ so that you should get audio only or album versions of songs. this setting works well for me and I haven’t heard the music video instances of songs yet
