Perfect.  I think I've used cdplay in the past but couldn't remember the 
name.  Google didn't help since "cd player" or "play cd" and variations 
just got all sorts of hits for things like the standard CD Player 
application, XMMS, etc.  I guess they all set the drive to pipe the 
sound out through the sound card.  Usually what people want but not if 
you want to use the drive's audio jack.

Thanks,
Dave
