I have a CD on my IIgs, it's an Apple CD150 to be exact. But only because I
hand-me-downed it from my Quadra 700 when I replaced that box with a Q840av
with internal CD. It has little more than gee-whiz value. I do happen to have
the system 6.0 CD on hand for extra gee-whiz value. Since single speed drives
like the 150 go for $30ish nowadays, there's nothing to keep one from using 
one for audio discs and the like. The 150 is especially good since it's plug-
n-play with driver software included with system 6.
