I agree with your assessment of workbone as a decent console-based cd player but if you see lack of volume control as a problem there is always the option of installing a mixer program. To mention several packages: aumix is said to be a competent utility and mp3blaster can play cd's and comes with nmixer; I use alsamixer. All do rather more than control the sound volume of a cd. > Anyway, I did a bit of snooping around and came across this: > > http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/derouler/info/workbone/index.html.en > > That is the same player, but with the + and - keys set to provide > volume control. Just tried this. The + key increases the volume but doesn't take the output to a very high level.

Or you could use /usr/local/bin. Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
