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 continu-
       ously 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.
