I really wouldn't try too hard to find a player...CD+G has an incredibly 
low resolution.  The graphics are reminiscent of old BBS GIFs, back when 
240x160 res, etc., was all the rage, and the only "animation" is palette 
shifting.  Not worth breaking your back for.

All that said and done, I still got a geekly thrill when I popped 
Information Society into my 3DO and realized it recognized CD+G.
