Don't use gtcd. The iBooks (and most recent Macs) don't support Red Book
audio playback in the "traditional" way (i.e., tell CD player to play
audio, run analog audio feed out through sound device), so you have to
use something else. I always used XMMS with the xmms-cdread plugin
installed - it'll read the PCM stream from the disc and play it through
your PCM output device. (And you can use ESD or aRts output with xmms,
so you can play more than one thing at a time/be compatible with
KDE/Gnome.)
