NAME

cdcd - Command Driven CD player

SYNOPSIS

cdcd [OPTION]... [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

cdcd allows control of a CD player either directly off of the command line or in its own
interactive query mode. Invoking cdcd without a command will cause cdcd to enter query
mode. Invoking cdcd with a command will cause cdcd to execute that command and then
terminate when it is finished.

OPTIONS

--device DEVICE

-d DEVICE
Use DEVICE as the CD device. DEVICE is the device special file name of the CD-ROM
device. Do not use a Linux SCSI Generic device.

USAGE

The following are the supported commands:

play [start track] [end track] [min:sec]
If start track is specified, play will play the specified track instead of the
first track. If end track is specified, the disc will be played from the start
track to the end track. start track and end track may either be part of or an
entire track title. If a starting position is specified (in the form min:sec), then
the disc will begin playing the specified amount of time into the specified track.
One may specify a starting position without specifying a start track or only
specify a start track and starting position while specifying no end track

stop This will stop the CD if it is playing.

access [local, remote, proxy]
Specifying local will cause CD information requests to return Unknown for track,
artist, and album titles, and will not attempt to connect to any servers. remote
will cause cdcd to connect to a server whenever any CD information is required. If
you need to use a HTTP proxy, it may be specified in the form proxy url, where url
is the URL for your HTTP proxy

COMPLETION

cdcd uses traditional readline command and trackname completion. To complete a command,
simply hit 'tab' when you have typed a partially completed command. To complete a
trackname, first type whatever command you wish to pass a track name to (e.g. play, ext)
and then begin with a double quotation mark. Type the beginning of the track name and
then hit tab. The track name will be completed for you.
