Looking for a CD Player Application that Works.

["Martin G. McCormick" <martin@dc.cis.okstate.edu>]

	I installed cdctrl on my Debian system some time ago, but
I have never been able to get it to play the CD's.  It kind of
works in that it will eject the disk and it can read the calendar
display if you give it the  d  command.  When it does try to
play, the drive runs at its top speed and I get an IOCTL error
indicating an end of track but not so much as a pop from the
headphone jack on the front of the drive.

	The presence of the jack and a volume control tells me
that the drive is capable of playing a CD, but it isn't getting
the message to do so.

	The calendar display is simply an accumulated listing of
each cut on the disk and the elapsed time up to that track so it
isn't like there is no communication at all.  It just isn't
playing.

	Are there any suggestions as to what might be wrong?  Are
there any similar applications that might work better?  What I
installed was

cdtool-2.1.5
