mcdp - a small cdplayer for linux

mcdp [/dev/some-cdrom-device]

The command mcdp is used for playing AudioCD's. It has a curses like userinterface and is fairly simple to use.

There is only one optional option - a cd device (e.g. /dev/cdrom2) !

tab (@); l l. 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.

tab (@); l l. $HOME/.workmandb@Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries. $CDDB_PATH/*@Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries.

tab (@); l l. 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

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!
