See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Updated: 03/29/01 Use xmcd. Xmcd is a full-featured CD Player utility package including xmcd, a CD Player for the X window system using the Motif graphical user interface, and cda, a command-line driven, text-mode CD Player which also features a curses-based, screen-oriented mode. Both utilities transform your CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW drive into a stereo CD player, allowing you to play music CDs on your computer. A CD database feature is supported, maintaining the disc artist/title, track titles, and arbitrary text (such as band information and song lyrics). A large Xmcd database can be downloaded from the Liverpool archive; the name of the package is xmcd_cddb. Moreover, xmcd supports CD recognition via CDDB[TM], and even supports using a proxy server to get to CDDB[TM] servers from behind a firewall. Xmcd controls the CD-ROM drive only, and does not control the built-in audio hardware on SGI, Sun, HP and some other workstations. Thus, there is no way to make the CD-ROM play via the workstation's internal speakers, unless an external program is used to control the audio hardware. Use headphones or high quality external amplified speakers, connected to the front jack on your CD-ROM drive. This setup should provide sound quality that is superior to the system's internal speakers. If you are running HP-UX 10.x or later, you may need to install an "Audio Subsystem" patch from HP in order for the system to recognize the CD-ROM drive as an input source: o 10.01/10/20: PHSS_22935 o 11.00: PHSS_22936 Xmcd is free, Open Source software, released under the GNU General Public License. Precompiled binaries can be downloaded from the Xmcd homepage (<http://www.amb.org/xmcd/>) or the Liverpool HP-UX archive.
