Some time ago there was discussion about xcdplayer and its bad habit of

OK Justin, here's a patch which at least partially relieves the problem :)

        /* Reset timer */
!       /* give the user time to change the CD if one was ejected (60 sec.) */
!       if (cdi.state & CDROM_STATE_EJECTED) {
!               stativid = XtAppAddTimeOut(appc, 60000, update_status, NULL);

  }

Seems to me that 60 seconds should be long enough (works for me). One problem
with this patch is that xcdplayer doesn't notice that there's a new CD in the
drive until the timeout happens. But this is easy to get around, just click
on the play button.
