Mmm.. am I missing something here?  I thought cdcontrol(1) already checked
four other environment variables - MUSIC_CD, CD_DRIVE, DISC and CDPLAY -
and set the cdname variable appropriately before checking for -f?  So the -f
flag would override the environment default, and *both* the env vars and
the -f flag would override the /dev/cd0c hardwired default?

The checks are before the getopt() call, you have just added another one
after the call.. is there a reason that those be separated?  I personally
have been setting MUSIC_CD in my profiles since forever, and it has worked
perfectly well.

And the manpage documented the old behavior too, near the top; true, it did
not have an ENVIRONMENT section, but.. :)

G'luck,
Peter
