- Instead of xcdplayer mentioned in other responses, I would recommend
- workman, written by Steven Grimm, e-mail is koreth@Hyperion.com. It was
- originally posted on alt.sources, and is probably available from ftp.uu.net.
-
- One of the nice features of workman versus xcdplayer is the ability to set up
- a database of cd's, and playlists. Once you've enter artist, title, and track
- names for a cd, and stored them in your database, then the next time you put the
- cd in the drive workman finds it in the database and you can select tracks by
- name. Plus, the author has distributed a database of hundreds of cd's, and is
- adding to it all the time.
-
- The current version is beta 1.1, but I've not found any problems with it yet,
- and if there are, the author is *very* responsive.
