What I'm thinking of is the same thing as a "file viewer," such as DOSSHELL offers...something which will translate each set of 8 bits into a byte, and display the character matching that byte. Needless to say, executable programs wind up making little sense...and I would expect the same from the bits that make up a CD...but it might be able to see a pattern in the bits presented as bytes...?

Sure. You can view any CD by sector with one of Infadyne's tools - CDR/DVD Diagnostic or Inspector.
