NAME

       cdplay - play audio compact disks

SYNOPSIS

       cdplay [ -a]|[-r]

DESCRIPTION

       Cdplay is an audio-cdplayer it can be used interactively or non-interactively. With no flags cdplay is used interactively. When used inter-
       actively cdplay can be either in non-playing or playing mode.  In non-playing mode you can select tracks to  be	played.  In  playing  mode
       cdplay shows the track-time, remaining track-time, total-time and remaining total-time.	Cdplay assumes the drive to be at /dev/cd0.

       During non-playing mode the following commands are available:

       cursor-up/down
	      browse through the track-list

       spacebar
	      add track to the play-list

       backspace
	      remove a track from the play-list

       s      start  playing  the  tracks  in the play-list. When the play-list is empty start playing from the current position in the track-list
	      until the end of the cd

       p      play the track on the current position in the track-list

       r      play all tracks in a random order (shuffle play)

       e      exit cdplay

During playing mode the following commands are available:
       s      stop playing, return to non-playing mode

       spacebar
	      pause/resume current track

       cursor-up/down
	      skip to next/previous track

OPTIONS

       When one of these options is used cdplay does everything in the background.

       -a     Play all tracks, cdplay tells the drive to play all tracks and then it immediately returns to the user

       -r     Play all tracks in random order (shuffle play). Cdplay forks of a new process which starts up a track, during that track it  sleeps.
	      When  the  track	is finished it wakes up to start the next track and goes to sleep again. The parent process immediately returns to
	      the user.

BUGS

       Cdplay does not sense if a cd has changed, so don't switch cd's.  If you want to play another cd you have to insert the new  cd	and  start
       cdplay again.
