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.
