                Take the CD player to the nth dimension.

I am pleased to announce the release of xmcd version 3.0 pl1, an
X11/Motif-based CD audio player utility, now with support for the
OpenVMS
operating system.

In its evolution over the past few years, xmcd has established itself as
the premier CD player application for the X window system with an
attractive, easy-to-use user interface.  It is the most feature-rich CD
player that runs on OpenVMS as well as most UNIX system variants.
The latest release (3.0 patchlevel 1) supports SCSI CD drives on both
VAX and Alpha based OpenVMS systems.  IDE/ATAPI drives are also
supported
on Alphas.

The remote CD database query feature fully utilizes the Internet and
taps on the vast repository of the Gracenote CDDB(tm) Music Recognition
Service(sm), which was originally pioneered by xmcd.

Xmcd also features "wwwWarp", the ability to remote control a web
browser, so that you can search and access many useful web resources and
information related to the CD you're listening to.  The Local
Discography
feature lets you organize, browse and play files related to your CD
collection.  Xmcd literally takes music enjoyment to a level far beyond
the standard stereo.

There are too many features to list, so visit the xmcd web page for
full information, screen snapshot and downloads:
