Yes, that's what gave me the idea - my boys tested the CD by playing it
with VLC.

FreeDB came with eCS 2.0RC4 (I think) but I haven't had call to try it,
until now.

Time flies, got round to OS2 (Kubuntu and Doze work) and ipspool won't accept port number 2501 which the server uses

Found it at OS2Site as well.

After 5 minutes of fiddling with the settings and checking the help, Beta 6
works fine!

Playing one of my Christmas gifts in the background as I type.

I must confess to being an old-fashioned person - I use equipment for one
job at a time: make phone calls on a mobile phone, play CDs on a CD player,
view videos on a VCR.

I am only slowly moving into the 21st century by playing CDs and videos on
my computer :-)
