ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
MPRIS_REMOTE_PLAYER
If unset or set to *, mpris-remote will communicate with the first player it finds registered under "org.mpris.*" through D-BUS. If you
only have one MPRIS-compliant player running, then this will be fine. If you have more than one running, you will want to set this
variable to the name of the player you want to connect to. For example, if set to foo, it will try to communicate with the player at
"org.mpris.foo" and will fail if nothing exists at that name.

cdcd - Command Driven CD player
SYNOPSIS
cdcd [OPTION]... [COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION
cdcd allows control of a CD player either directly off of the command line or in its own interactive query mode. Invoking cdcd without a
command will cause cdcd to enter query mode. Invoking cdcd with a command will cause cdcd to execute that command and then terminate when
it is finished.
OPTIONS --device DEVICE
-d DEVICE

USAGE
The following are the supported commands:
play [start track] [end track] [min:sec]
If start track is specified, play will play the specified track instead of the first track. If end track is specified, the disc will
be played from the start track to the end track. start track and end track may either be part of or an entire track title. If a
starting position is specified (in the form min:sec), then the disc will begin playing the specified amount of time into the speci-
fied track. One may specify a starting position without specifying a start track or only specify a start track and starting posi-
tion while specifying no end track
stop This will stop the CD if it is playing.

a HTTP proxy, it may be specified in the form proxy url, where url is the URL for your HTTP proxy
COMPLETION

completed command. To complete a trackname, first type whatever command you wish to pass a track name to (e.g. play, ext) and then begin
with a double quotation mark. Type the beginning of the track name and then hit tab. The track name will be completed for you.
