'Load disc:0' (which I had not tried before) opens a Windows Explorer window and, in this, clicking on DVD RW Drive (E:) leads to the Windows error 'Insert a disc', as you said. The data, or music CD, is ejected, and the DVD RW Drive (E:) entry disappears from the Explorer window. > or from the Icon bar CD drive icon?

Clicking on that icon opens the root directory, etc, of a data CD, as I said - it still does - and files can be read, as normal. However, a music CD causes RPCEmu to vanish.
