Hey Greg, I haven't tried workbone, but if you want a command-line CD player, I recommend cdcd (at http://cdcd.undergrid.net/). You run it entirely with commands from the command line. So instead of pressing keys on the keypad, you type commands like these: "cdcd play": Play first track or resume the current track if paused. "cdcd play 9": Play track 9. "cdcd next": Skip to the next track. "cdcd prev": Go back one track. "cdcd pause": Pause the player. "cdcd stop": Stop the player. "cdcd tracks": Look up CD and track info in an online CD database. I use it mostly to listen to a CD or check the CD info before adding the tracks I like into the music collection on my hard disk.
