I generally use a tiling WM (xmonad, ion, stump, etc.) and listen to music with mpd. With that setup I can keep a small text monitor in the status bar, or other such place, for seeing just what is currently running. Every once in a while though I will actually play a cd and I would like to have such a monitor for that time too, if possible. I have gone through the tools in apt and installed all the CLI players that seemed to be listed but none will return any actual data from CDDB. Cdcd seems to imply it can, but it doesn't actually work from here, instead complaining that it cannot parse the data. (I installed it and libcdaudio from source just to see but I still got the same error, btw.)
Does anyone by any chance know of a player, or app, which can return this information for me? Since I use a tiling WM gui apps can be tricky, and I am hoping to find something I can use a command line to get data from, and google just doesn't seem to return anything I can use.
