NAME
mcdp - a small cdplayer for linux SYNOPSIS
mcdp [/dev/some-cdrom-device] DESCRIPTION
The command mcdp is used for playing AudioCD's. It has a curses like userinterface and is fairly simple to use. OPTIONS
There is only one optional option - a cd device, e.g. /dev/cdrom2. KEYS
KEY DESCRIPTION # play track number # (0,1..9) cursor up fast forward cursor right slow forward cursor left slow rewind cursor down fast rewind space next track b/B previous track S/s toggle start/stop P/p toggle pause/resume E/e eject cdrom device C/c close cdrom device R/r redraw screen M/m change playmethod (-/+) +/- change trackmodifier (+/-) </> change audio volume of cdrom device (-/+) Q/q quit mcdp ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CDDA_DEVICE Reserved or later :) CDROM Try this cdrom as default (if unset, CDROM_DEFAULT from params.h is used). CDDB_PATH path to your local cddb files (if unset, _no_ cddb titelinfo is displayed) CDDB_SERVER IP:PORT of a freedb server (if unset, only local cddb stuff is used, if it exists in $CDDB_PATH/$discid). LOGNAME Is used for remote cddb login. HOSTNAME Is used for remote cddb login too. FILES
$HOME/.workmandb Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries. $CDDB_PATH/* Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries. RETURN VALUES
0 no errors occured / normal quit 1 the given cd-device isn't a cd-device 2 your cd seems to be sth. other then a CD-Audio or CD-Mixed 3 some error while processing terminal code NOTES
Some terminals don't like the default escape-sequences from params.h ... if so, you have to edit them ! Successfully tested terminals are vt100, linux, xterm, xterm-color. If you haven't direct access to a freedb server, you may use some port redirector program ... see freshmeat. If you have devfs, mcdp will try /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, else /dev/cdrom is tried! AUTHOR
