+This is a CD player for use under Acme.
+
+It is derived from my earlier cdplay, which
+was in turn derived from a 2nd edition player
+called vcd. I think hardly any of the code from
+vcd is left anymore, but it's what got me started.
+Vcd was originally by David Hogan with additions
+by Alberto Nava. David Hogan claims the only
+code left is the definition of struct Msf.
+
+Run it by executing "acd /dev/sdD0", where
+/dev/sdD0 is your CD reader.
+
+A window with a track list will appear, with
+tracks named Track 1, Track 2, etc.
+If it can be found in the freedb.org CD database,
+real track names will replace the boring
+ones before long.
+
+To start playing a track, right click the number.
+A "> " marks the currently playing track.
+When that track finishes, acd plays the track
+on the next line. This means you can edit
+the window as thought it were a play list.
+
+If the next line is "repeat", acd will start again
+at the first song listed in the window.
+
+CD changes are handled gracefully.
