Well, I'll review the mailing list archives.

Yeah, now I know _twice_, that they are hard to recognize. But my point
is that I'm a freaky user who doesn't have any problems with such
buttons. In addition to that, I only see apps with similar buttons and
the real-world players have text nearby their buttons explaining what
they do.

So what I need are concrete descriptions on how these buttons better
should look like. Or a pointer to a cd player app with a very good GUI
in this sense.

Yes! But before implementing skin stuff I need to clean up the code and fix a
whole bunch of discovered and undiscovered bugs.

This won't be a big problem having libWorkMan available. But for my own
desktop I would like to have both, a generic media player that is able
to play audio cds and a stand alone cd player with extra features.
