Documentation suggestion: Handling Audio CDs. #374

It was not entirely clear for me how to deal with generating/using Audio CD images with xStation. That is required for some games, which depend on ability to read music from user-provided CD, for example, Vib-Ribbon. Found this thread, which IMO is quite misguiding. So, i would like to suggest to add to documentation a section about dealing with Audio CD.

What i found most useful way to make it work, without extra software that messes with generating images/drive emulation:

Audio CDs rip fine with Imgburn, for example. If you want to actually master a new disk, from mp3 or similar, then it becomes tough. I would look for a CD authoring software, such as Nero once did.

I'm not good with documentation, so it's unlikely I would write another guide for xStation specifically :p This is a generic task anyway.
