#!/bin/bash
#Script Created by Thomas Adam

#Declare Variables......
TMP=/tmp/audiofiles.tmp

#Change to dir and copy all files to 
cd /audio

#Touch temp file
touch $TMP

#copy all filesnames to temp list
echo $(ls *.MP3 *.WAV *.S3M *.MOD *.XM) >> $TMP

#Now for each file, play them using the commands....
while read audiofiles; do
  case $audiofiles in
     *.MP3 )
     mp3blaster -f $audiofiles
     ;;
     *.WAV )
     mp3blaster -f $audiofiles
     ;;
     *.S3M )
     mp3blaster -f $audiofiles
     ;;
     *.MOD )
     mp3blaster -f $audiofiles
     ;;
     *.XM )
     mp3blaster -f $audiofiles
     ;;

done < /tmp/audiofiles.tmp

The above script should work for playing the files 
in "/audio".

N.B. You'll have to substitute the name of the program if 
it does not support the types listed above.

I shall have to think how'll you'll check for CD Insertion. 
I get the feeling that you might have to write a "C" 
function for that.

I cannot think of a way of using BASH for this.

N.B. Also, this script is off the top of my head, and I 
have not had time to test it.

HTH,
