Does anyone know if this will still work on modern PCs, and if so how?
Or have I just wasted my money?

No go buddy. But it still does have its uses. You can put it in you CD player and listen to the soundtrack. (Skip track one. That is a horrible sound.)
Other then that, get a PSX and get Beast Wars AND Transmetals.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

You can use it as a CD and listen to music? Wow, I need to dig my copy out then.
As for the topic at hand, yea you waisted your money, even if you had the tech to actually play it it would have been a waste, because the game is sh*t. I bought it back when it was new and thought it not only looked ugly, but also played ugly. It was bad for the standards back then and will be unplayable by today's standards.

You can only hear the level music (track 4 is awesome), and the songs are about a minute 20 a piece. I wonder if you can do that with other PC games.

You can with any CD-based Game that uses Redbook CD Audio, consoles like the SEGA-CD included. In fact, I suggest using Windows Media Player to play the music itself, not only because it skips the No.0/No.1 Data Track automatically (basically any track that's not recognised), but also to effectively rip the music onto your hard drive.
As a warning, do NOT use a standard CD player. I've heard of one instance of speakers literally blowing because of the Data Track being played as if it was music.
