This is a CD player for use under Acme. It is derived from my earlier cdplay, which was in turn derived from a 2nd edition player called vcd. I think hardly any of the code from vcd is left anymore, but it's what got me started. Vcd was originally by David Hogan with additions by Alberto Nava. David Hogan claims the only code left is the definition of struct Msf. Run it by executing "acd /dev/sdD0", where /dev/sdD0 is your CD reader. A window with a track list will appear, with tracks named Track 1, Track 2, etc. If it can be found in the freedb.org CD database, real track names will replace the boring ones before long. To start playing a track, right click the number. A "> " marks the currently playing track. When that track finishes, acd plays the track on the next line. This means you can edit the window as thought it were a play list. If the next line is "repeat", acd will start again at the first song listed in the window. CD changes are handled gracefully.
