I wanted to start a new thread for this request. Based on the
discussion from the "FreeDOS package issues" thread, Jerome identified
that the CDP package didn't include source code. Robert suggested
SJGPlay as a replacement.

Could anyone with a CD player and a sound card on their computer
please test SJGPlay with actual music CDs and comment here if SJGPlay
works well. (I don't have a CD drive on any of my computers, so I
can't test this myself.)
