Many DVD players are capable of playing back songs from a data CD containing music tracks in MP3 format. Burning a data CD containing audio files makes sense if the audio tracks are in MP3 format and are not to be converted into WAV files, e. g. because the tracks are going to be played back on an MP3 and/or DVD player.
