<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
When one of these options is used <STRONG>cdplay</STRONG> does everything in the
background.
-a Play all tracks, <STRONG>cdplay</STRONG> tells the drive to play all tracks and then
it immediately returns to the user
-r Play all tracks in random order (shuffle play). <STRONG>Cdplay</STRONG> 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.
</PRE>
<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>Cdplay</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>cdplay</STRONG>
again.
