Will `loadkeys' let me assign an arbitrary command to a key sequence?

I've looked at the Console HOWTO and the loadkeys man pages and it appears
that I can only do certain predefined things like switching consoles or
showing the registers.

Perhaps it will help if I get specific.  Ctrl-Alt-Delete is set to
reboot the computer (as usual).  Then I mapped the Alt-UpArrow to play
a CD in my CD-ROM drive so I can play a CD without logging in.  I would
like to have Alt-DownArrow skip to the next track, but can't figure out
how to do it.
