Apple CD remote comes as part of the Apple CD-Rom setup disk you mentioned.
It works only with Apple's own drives and any drives with drivers which
implement all the necessary calls.  It looks like your NEC one doesn't.

There are programs like AudioDeck (shareware, on more mirror sites) which
look quite reasonable, should work on any CD-ROM drive, but don't do the
track-names bit.

There are also a few expensite audio packages which do everything that
Apple's one does and a whole lot more.  They're usually quite expensive.

Simon.
