So, I own a TurboCube with an internal CD ROM drive. I know normally one needs some type of cable from the CD rom to sound card on PCs but how would one, if even possible, play music CDs from a CD unit in a Cube?
Anyone do this yet?
I also own an external NeXT branded CD Rom and they have audio ports on them so I know I could connect speaker system to that to play CDs but would be nice to do from internal CD player.
Thanks

Here's something to entertain everyone using the new NeXT CD-ROM ...
Find attached a command-line program to play audio CDs on the NeXT CD-ROM. You'll need to connect the CD-ROM to a stereo through the two RCA connectors in the back of the drive, or to the stereo headphones in the front.
Operation:
usage: cdplayer [-p|-r] -t<target>|-d<device> [<track>]
There is a command line app, plus a NS GUI..

Place cdplayer in your path (/usr/bin is a good place or /usr/local/bin if you have created this directory & have it in your path) and make it SUID root.
#chmod 4755 /usr/bin/cdplayer
Also, make /usr/etc/disk SUID root
#chmod 4755 /usr/etc/disk
Then double-click on CDPlayer & enjoy.
There's also a toshiba-specific utility which does not require the CD-ROM-to-audio device connection - but this may be for i386..
I have never used this utility - have never owned NeXT-branded CDROM..
I have a NeXT brand CD ROM also and I know about the RCA jacks but what I was interested in was the internal CD ROM I have inside my Cube. Wondering if anyone has an internal CD Rom playing music somehow.
