It features all the functions expected in a compact disc player, including playing selected tracks, random playing and loop mode. Also features a non-interactive mode for those who want to play their CDs while using the console for something else.

Autorun 'autorun' automagically recognizes all available CDROMs in the system, mounts them upon insertion of a media and executes a possible autorun executable on the CD. The user can remove the media; autorun will call unmount after that.

Biblos 'Biblos' is a powerful indexing tool for managing a cd/mp3 collection as well as local directories. It records full information about each file on the specified media and has a powerful searching tool that can help you find specific files. You can also select a list of files/dirs from the database and Biblos will help you copy them from the source media to the directory choosen.

Breeze 'breeze' aims to be a fast and powerful CD Digital-Audio Player. It may run as either a console app or as a daemon. It can control a cdrom that is playing live, can change track to the next or previous one, jcan jump backward or forward, and set a playlist and your information about cdda.

CD-ROM Control CD-Rom Control is a GUI for mounting, unmounting, and ejecting the CD-Rom drive. It includes an autostart feature which will automatically bring up either a CD listing in a graphical file manager, an HTML page in a browser, and DVD support.

CDfs 'CDfs' is a file system that 'exports' all tracks and boot images on a CD as normal files. These files can then be mounted (e.g. for ISO and boot images), copied, played (audio tracks), etc. Its main goal is to 'unlock' information in old ISO sessions. The file system also lets you access data on faulty multi session disks, e.g. disks with multiple single sessions instead of a multi session.

Cdcd cdcd is a CLI CD player designed to incorporate all the features of the X and curses based CD players without having to use a clunky push button interface or having a console hogged with a curses-based CD player. cdcd can accept commands directly from the command line, or in a query mode similar to telnet or ftp. CDDBP and HTTP mode CDDB support is inlcuded, and now CD Index support as well. cdcd also supports CD-ROM changers on GNU/Linux 2.1 or 2.2 systems. You can run cdcd with a command as the argument (eg cdcd play), which is a great way to use cdcd and cron together to make a CD alarm clock. If you run cdcd without arguments you will be given the cdcd command prompt.

Cdrom Cdrom is a small/lightweight CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive controlling utility. It supports several features like automatic mounting/unmounting (if needed), speed control, drive capability, CD status, and more.

Cymbaline 'Cymbaline' is an intelligent learning (weighted playlists) music player. It sets a score for each track based on your listening habits, and you can set thresholds to create playlists with your favorite tracks automagically. It is particularly useful if you have a large playlist which you don't want to micromanage, if you want to listen to music in the background) perhaps with random selections that you like), or if you have a collection of albums, not singles. In random mode, it will play your favorite tracks more often. 'Cymbaline' also allows album-based navigation: you can start playing the next album, skip 2 albums ahead, go to a specific album, etc. There is also a random queue mode where you see a list of randomly chosen tracks that play consecutively.

Disc-Cover 'disc-cover' scans audio cds and uses information from the cddb database to build a back and front cover for the cd by connecting with a cddb server to get the title, artist, and list of track titles (and extended information where available). Documentation is in Dutch, German, Spanish, and English. It supports caching of cddb entries in directory that can be shared with other cddb-aware programs. You can produce covers without typing in all the information. The cover can be output in Latex, Dvi, Pdf, Postscript, Cddb entry, HTML, text, and a format to use with cdlabelgen. You can optionally put a picture on the front cover; the program supports almost any image format. You can also assign different colors to different items such as titles or track numbers.
