mcdp

A command-line cd player for Unix (currently only Linux is supported). There is also libmcdp, which makes most of the cd-manipulating functions available for other applications.

Features

• Released under the GNU GPL
• High-quality, portable, easy to read C code
• Includes a library for writing your own applications
• freedb support

Dependancies

• rgetopt, for command-line option parsing.

Todo list

• Autoconf support to find rgetopt?
• Improve freedb support to deal with multiple possibilities (should use readline)
• Make error messages more user-friendly
• Ports to other operating systems
• Maybe add a DWIM mode, where mcdp deals with common failure modes from slightly dodgy drives?

Source code

Version 0.1 is available as a source tarball here. "make" should build it successfully, though you may need to edit the Makefile to point out where rgetopt is.

Bugs?

Please do send me bug reports, patches, feature requests and so on. Email them to mcdp@principate.org. If that doesn't work (because SAUCE doesn't like you), the source files give an alternative address.
