Type cdp to start program. Engage the NUM LOCK on your keypad. From inside cdp pressing DEL on numeric keypad will display a help menu. While running, cdp will display the current track number and both total CD elapsed time and current track elapsed time. Note that total CD elapsed time includes times for non-audio data tracks in addition to playable tracks.
Use cdplay to use the non-iteractive version of cdp.
cdp
expects to find the device: /dev/cdrom . If you don't
have this device, change to /dev and soft link your current
cd rom device to 'cdrom'. For example, if you currently call
your cdrom device 'mcd0', then do the following:
cd /dev
ln -sf mcd0 cdrom
Alternatively, just edit 'hardware.c' to reflect the name of your cdrom device and recompile.
cdp uses the numeric keypad as a control panel to allow you to move track to track, play, pause, stop, and resume playing of audio CDs. Make sure you have your NUM LOCK engaged when using cdp. A graphical template is displayed to guide you. Running times are also continuously updated and displayed.
