+ gdcd is a CD player for the X Window System which uses the GIMP Tool
+Kit (GTK) and libcdaudio. It is in quite early development at this point,
+but should become quite a bit more functional as time goes on.
+
+There are currently 3 working parts of gdcd:
+
+Button Panel:
+ The button panel provides 8 buttons for controlling CD-ROM operations.
+ Ideas for the cosmetic design of these buttons are quite obviously
+ borrowed from another excellent GTK-based X CD player, XfreeCD. Every
+ single one of them is working in this release, though extended
+ functionality to them will appear in future releases (such as
+ customizable seek control with the forward/reverse buttons.)
+
+Status Bar:
+ The status bar is gdcd's only method of output in this release. It
+ displays the status of network and CD-ROM operations, as well as the
+ track being played when play is started.
+
+Cover Art Display:
+ The cover art display shows the art from the cover of the album
+ currently in the CD-ROM, or if it can't be located, a splash screen
+ for the disc's genre.
