9.2 How can I play audio CDs on an HP workstation?

A contributed application ("xcd") exists that presents a X-window CD player
front panel.  xcd runs on HP-UX 7.0 and 8.0, on Series 300, 400 and 700, with
either SCSI or HP-IB CD-ROM drives. The SCSI drives must be HP-supplied or
Toshiba XM-3201B or XM-3301B. xcd does not yet officially work on HP-UX 9.0,
but I've tried it and it seems to work just fine. Note that xcd plays only
through the CD player's headphone jack and not through the workstation's
speaker.

xcd is available from the InterWorks workstation user group (see above),
on their ftp site, CD-ROM, and via DDS tape.

Note that source is not available.

Additionally, two new programs that provide similar functionality have
recently appeared, called xdp and xmcd. I use xmcd and it's great.
