A CD-ROM can spin up fast enough to read audio sectors pretty fast, you
probably won't really notice.

That is what most CD players do these days. My old £80 Technics CD
player remembered where you were in a disk if pressed Stop. It's very

continues it as if I hadn't gone away.

Pressing the Eject or Pause button in the interface will unlock the
drive, and of course Eject would also eject the disk.
