cdp (1)
- an interactive text-mode program for controlling
and playing audio CD Roms under Linux.
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
cdp
is an interactive TEXT-MODE program for playing audio CDs
under Linux. It is based on WorkBone, which in turn is based on the
modules "hardware.c", "database.c" and "struct.c"
from the elaborate X11 CD program known as WorkMan.
cdp
Display CD databases, as generated by WorkMan. It also enable editing this
information.
cdp
expects to find the device: /dev/cdrom . If you don't
have this device, change to /dev and soft link your current
cd rom device to 'cdrom'. For example, if you currently call
your cdrom device 'mcd0', then do the following:
cd /dev
ln -sf mcd0 cdrom
Alternatively, just edit 'hardware.c' to reflect the
name of your cdrom device and recompile.
cdp
uses the numeric keypad as a control panel to allow you
to move track to track, play, pause, stop, and resume playing of
audio CDs. Make sure you have your NUM LOCK engaged when using
cdp.
A graphical template is displayed to guide you. Running times
are also continuously updated and displayed.

BUGS
It is doubtful that I will do much development of
cdp.
I extended WorkBone 0.1 to support WorkMan CD databases. This program is a
further extension of WorkBoneII 0.2 to support CD database editing.
Please e-mail any bug fixes or improvements that
you might have.
cdp
works with my Mitsumi FX001D CD Rom drive, but your
mileage with other drives may vary. Only generic calls and
functions are used as per WorkMan proper itself. Unlike WorkBone
cdp uses ncurses for displaying its screen. If anyone is interested
in porting it to other platforms please email me.
enjoy.
