   There is a lot of information about programming the CD-ROM in the
  info files under 'CD-ROM SCSI Device Driver', 'cd Special file',
  'Physical Volumes and the Logical Device Driver' ans some others.
    Some body here at our school mades a curses interface to play
  music CD's, if you like I can send you an uuencoded version of the
  executable file ( I can't sent you the sources 'cause I don't know
  where they are :) )
