Yes, I think asking a program to play one track, then stop, is too
minimalistic. For a music CD player program, I think people would want
to have the option to listen to the whole CD.

If SJGPlay can be compiled by FreeBASIC, I think that would be okay. I
know that compiled BASIC programs tend to be pretty large, but if it's
the only program running (non TSR music CD player) does it matter how
large the binary is - as long as it runs in available memory?
