   I am looking to write a nice interface for my CD-ROM drive to play  
audio disks. I know that cdplayer and CDPlayer both exist, but I want a  
lot more functionality than that, and I'm willing to write it. I would  
like pointers, however, to any docs on how to do CD-ROM operations on the  
NeXT. I understand that it is SCSI controlled, however, I don't recall  
there being any SCSI commands like "how many tracks", "what is the length  
of track n". If the writers of cdplayer and CDPlayer would give me  
information, I would be most appriciative. (Why should they do all the  
work? And have all the fun?)
