If you feel adventurous, try my little script that uses mplayer for CD
playing on the command line. :-)

 You need the following small packages in
addition to mplayer:

cdtool
setcd
abcde   

(abcde is actually a very nice ripping script, but I use it for
cddb lookups - and all of these packages are very small)

You can read the script here:

http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp

but the easiest way is to run the following commands in order:

sudo apt-get install cdtool setcd abcde 

wget http://inx.maincontent.net/cdmp

chmod +x cdmp

(load your CD then..)

./cdmp

Alternatively, copy the script to /usr/local/bin so you can call it
using just "cdmp"

It looks like this:

Hope you and/or some other list members enjoy it :)
I hope to add in options to make better use of abcde in future.
