DarkWyrm has surely put a lot of effort into it, so I really hope that I
don't hurt his feelings by saying this. But I have to agree. I never use
it myself, if I were to directly play a CD, I'd more likely drop the CD
icon onto MediaPlayer or VLC. I think I probably said it before, but
even MidiPlayer should be integrated into MediaPlayer. There is one
advantage of using CDPlayer, though, which is you can plug your
headphones into the CD drive outlet. Some don't have outlets for
headphones, though, and I have mine behind a separate front cover. :-\
