Xmcd: An Audio-CD Player for X11
Japanese Page is here.
News
- May 5, 1998: xmcd-2.2-1a: rebuilt with pre-DR3.
- Jan 22, 1998: xmcd-2.2-1B: the latest version with wip980113
which now alows volume control. I changed the
spec file to use a new mklinux-patch which differs
from the previous one with volume control disabled
to avoid annoying error messages.
- Dec 6, 1997: xmcd-2.2-1A: the latest version with mklinux patch.

How to Build Xmcd from SRC
The Xmcd RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
- xmcd-2.2.spec
You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:
- # rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1a.src.rpm
How to Install Xmcd
- # rpm -ivh <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1a.ppc.rpm
You may want to reconfigure Xmcd by

- .... Answer questions .....
in order to use some remote CD data base.
Once you issue this command, you will be prompted to specify your CD player
type. You must choose "36. other (non-SCSI)", even if you think
your CD player is SCSI and select "1. SunOS/Solaris/Linux/QNX ioctl method"
as a Device Interface Method (the other options simply did not work for me).
