In my attempt to push my humble CD-ROM player to its limit, I've fed it the only
CD+G disk I own. The results are decidedly unexciting. Can anyone offer some
advice?

The unit is the ubiquitous Toshiba XM-3401B, connected to my Macintosh
Powerbook. The driver I'm using is FWB's CD-ROM toolkit v.1.0.5.

My questions:

1) Has anyone successfully coaxed this player to play CD+Gs?

2) If so, what software is available to decode and display the graphics.

3) If not, what's a good, inexpensive way to view the graphics on a CD+G?

Thank You,

-Jeremy
