Audio Control for the CD Drive
In order to control the playing of audio CDs on your CD drive, you will
need a third party “CD player” application. One such application that
supports HP workstations is xmcd. This is a third-party “CD player”
utility that runs on an X window system using the Motif graphical user
interface. The xmcd utility is not supported by Hewlett-Packard. Since
the xmcd utility is not a part of HP-UX, you will need to download it off
the web using your web browser and this URL:
http://metalab.unc.edu/tkan/xmcd
Installing the xmcd Utility
Here is the procedure for downloading the xmcd utility to your system:
1. Log in as root.
2. Type the previously given URL into the entry box on your web
browser and press Enter.
3. Select the menu item labeled Downloads found on the xmcd
homepage.
4. Scroll down to the section “Select your platform:” on the Downloads
web page and select the item labeled “HP-UX 9.x and later (HP
PA-RISC).”
5. Wait for a few seconds for the Save As... pop-up window to appear. In
this window, click in the Selection entry box and type the following
path and file name:
/tmp/xmcdbin.tar.gz
Next, click the OK button. This completes the download of xmcd to
your system.
6. Follow the instructions in the section “Instructions to unpack xmcd
binary” found on this Binary Downloads web page. This will
complete the installation of the xmcd utility.
