Hi,
I'm a newbie wondering if there's a simple statement I can use to get my CD drive to start playing (e.g. at the click of a button) with a java program?

Much obliged,
B Wilson

I assume you're trying to play audio CD's. You can read the information from a CD. Whether you can write the code to decode *.cda files and then create sound from the data on the CD is another matter. One way that might work is to assume that the OS will pass the cda to the appropriate program and you can just invoke the cda, as if it were executable.
