If you're looking for a cheap CD-player program that saves you the trouble of typing in artist and track info and takes up a minimum of screen real estate, consider CD Valet, a small but powerful utility from GHL Software. Besides getting CD info from CDDB, an Internet CD database (see "CDDB Players Can Name That Tune"), this $US10 shareware application has lots of customisation options, such as programming which tracks will play and in what order, playing audio CDs across multiple drives, and customising the information displayed. You can control the entire application from a tiny icon in the system tray (the area near the clock). Download CD Valet from the CD, or from its maker at www.ghlsoftware.com.
