The OCD Player is very unlikely to be updated by Firetongue. I've had an e-mail exchange with Andrei, and I hope he doesn't mind if I quote part of his mail:

The current plan is to move player into "legacy downloads" section of the website. I will still release updates together with OrangeCD Catalog, but unfortunately, I won't be able to fix playback bugs.

(One reason is that underlying old APIs are buggy, and this can't be fixed. The software must be re-written using new APIs.)
But that doesn't mean that there's nothing to be done. I suggested to Andrei that I was interested in helping out re-writing the CD-player code to work properly, and adding scrobbling. He was all for that!

Unfortunately, this e-mail exchange was back in September, and I have not had the time since to do anything about it. But it's on my to-do list! Or if anyone else has the time and programming experience to make this happen sooner, please do contact Andrei. A better CD player would be great, and the only obstacle to it happening is that someone has to have the time and skill to make it happen.
