- OPTIONS
- When one of these options is used cdplay does everything in the
- background.
- -a Play all tracks, cdplay tells the drive to play all tracks and then
- it immediately returns to the user
- -r Play all tracks in random order (shuffle play). Cdplay forks of a
- new process which starts up a track, during that track it sleeps.
- When the track is finished it wakes up to start the next track and
- goes to sleep again. The parent process immediately returns to the
- user.
- BUGS
- Cdplay does not sense if a cd has changed, so don't switch cd's. If you
- want to play another cd you have to insert the new cd and start cdplay
- again.
