WorkBone is an interactive control panel in text-mode to play audio CDs under Linux. It is a text-modus interface to the "hardware.c" module of the X11 CD-program WorkMan. WorkBone is designed to easily play audio CDs in text-mode under Linux. WorkBone by purpose doesn't have all those features WorkMan has. It is thought for those people who want to listen to their music with as minimal expense as possible.
WorkBone uses the number block as a control panel to enable jumping from track to track, play CDs, stop etc. Furthermore the actual playing time is permanently actualized and displayed.
WorkBone works with most CD-ROM drives. But there still are some NEC CD-ROMs that don't work because they us not standardized own audio commands which results in a malfunction of WorkBone.
WorkBone expects to find the device: /dev/cdrom . If you don't have this device, change to /dev and soft link your current cd rom device to 'cdrom'.
