Assuming that the D/A converters and audio section in your CD player
and computer are of similar quality, there is no reason why you should
not get equivalent results except that it would be much easier to play
track that you wish using various search criteria on a computer. If
you are concerned about electrical noise issues with a computer, an
external DAC can be used but even relatively modest sound cards can
provide excellent results these days.
