What's more interesting to me and was a recent post on it was games that had both CD Audio but also had Midi if the CD wasn't inserted.
Warcraft2 and Age of Empires 2 are ones I know of off the top of my head

Betrayal at Krondor has a CD Audio option that is basically a recording of the MIDI tracks on whatever they used as a reference player (Sound Canvas?).
Blood has CD Audio, with MIDI/FM as an option as well.
Shadow Warrior is CD Audio-only, no MIDI/FM options.
Heroes of Might & Magic II also has CD Audio reference MIDI like BAK, with the option of FM or your own MIDI device.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Cool, a list of this sort would be good too. For these games, is the CD Audio a recording of the MIDI? And do people like the MIDI or CD Audio more? Thanks!
Mechwarrior 2 / Ghost Bear's Legacy / Mercenaries
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder
Tempest 2000 had notable music

Actually this was NASCAR Racing
DD2 has similar music though
Is this too much voodoo?
Monster Truck Madness 2 uses CD Audio for the background music, and Monster Truck Madness 1 supports both Synthesized and CD Audio music. you can even use your own Audio CDs instead if you desire (only if it's a complete installation).

That's already been a thread. It's much shorter to list those
The first two Harley-Davidson games for Windows by WizardWorks use Red Book, e.g. Race Across America and Wheels of Freedom.
Hi all, thanks for all the replies, they're great! From the MIDI discussion, I was thinking the CD Audio tracks from games that use real musical instruments (like an orchestra) for their soundtrack would be especially good.
Anyone have some in mind? Thanks.
Extreme Assault had real orchestral music. Listen in here: https://chrishuelsbeck.bandcamp.com/album/ext … ault-soundtrack

According to Mobygames, below are the games CD Audio games I know of. Beyond Quake, don't know which ones are good yet...
Aliens Versus Predator
Alone In The Dark 1/2/3
Half-Life 1/2
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure (FM Towns)
Quake
7th Guest
Pretty sure Half-Life 2 uses digital music stored on disk and 7th guest uses midi except for the intro (CDA music on 2nd CD is not used in the game).
I'd add:
Total Annihilation
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Pretty much the complete list minus foreign language duplicates
