A non-widget-based program with much more elaborate functionality is on
the anonymous ftp area of 132.206.1.1 (X/cdplayer.shar).

Of course, the same caveats about Suns apply: you need a recent version
of the OS (known to build on SPARCs running 4.1).  Documentation is
basically nonexistent, but there isn't much to document except
command-line options, which are all collected together in one routine
in the source.
