Exactly. CDs that are burned with the 'audio' option SHOULD be
readable in every CD player. 'data' CDs with MP3 files MAY be
readable in modern CD- or DVD-Players with MP3 capability as
well. Since this is not standardized, you should consider using
ISO9660 with RockRidge and Joliet extentions when making the CD
image:

$ mkisofs -v -r -T -J -o /var/tmp/mp3_1.iso /path/to/mp3s
# burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s 4 data /var/tmp/mp3_1.iso fixate

keeping the hierarchy below /path/to/mp3s as flat as possible,
using .mp3 extensions for the mp3 files, not putting too many files
per folder and using conservative sampling rates that are recognized
by most hardware players (128 kbps, 44000).
