I know of two such.  There is xcdplayer by rusty@belch.berkeley.edu,
available in the X contrib archives, and there's mine, which I call
cdplayer, available from 132.206.1.1 in X/cdplayer.shar or by mail from
me.  Thumbnail sketch of the differences: rusty's is prettier, mine is
more featureful.  Neither one comes with very much documentation, but
the lack is less important in rusty's' case.  I suggest, of course,
that you get hold of both, try them, and run whichever you prefer.
