Can I use a CD-ROM to play audio CDs? What programs are available?
Playing audio CD from CD-ROM in the first approximation means to instruct the CD-ROM drive to play back audio tracks and output the audio onto the headphone-out line. [courtesy Toerless Eckert (Toerless.Eckert@Informatik.Uni-Erlangen.de) 03/11/97] Look for applications such as x_cdplayer, xcdplayer, xcd and Workman. “The best CD player program I’ve seen is Workman, a complete CD player with a song database, a variety of play options, and even the kitchen sink! You can get Workman 3.1beta and a starter song database by anonymous ftp to ftp.hyperion.com in the /Workman directory.
