Sorry - forgot what the original subject was...

Referring to the elapsed time note that JG (or GJ) made, you can click
on the disc icon in the CDPlayer conrtol box.  This will tell you 
three things:
1. how much time you've eaten up in the current selection
   (this is usually someting like 0:00 to 4:05 if the song is 4:05
   long - the disc icon will show a little pie wedge)
2. how much time you've eaten up of the whole disk
   (this is in the range 0:00 to 1:05:48 if the whole disc contains
   an hour and 5 mins, 48s of play.  This will show about where you
   are on the disk - sort of like the pie display of Installer.app)
3. how much time there is total on the whole disk - this is just a 
   constant

I suppose you can figure out on the last song how time there is in
the song.  Other than that, I don't think it will count down for you.
A really good version of a CDPlayer is on the iris running irix
5.0.x I believe.  It also lets you keep a library of programs for 
your favorite CDs.  This is not a plug or anything (standard
disclaimers apply).  The NeXT dudes should check it out for an idea
of how to improve CDPlayer for NS3.1...
