You use mkisofs when you want to create a CD-ROM with an
ISO9660 filesystem on it, so you can mount it.  That's why
it is called mkisofs:  MaKe ISO FileSystem.

You do not use it for audio CDs, as these don't contain a
filesystem (you cannot mount them), but just a sequence of
raw audio tracks, suitable for an audio CD player.

No.

Yes.  You need to put them into a filesystem.
