Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters. I strongly
recommend 72 as a good default.
Thank you.

workbone is an _ancient_ CD player. Most desktop environments have
built-ins which integrate to their toolbars / docks, there's a gkrellm
player, etc. Unless you need a console/ncurses mode player, I'd go with
one of these.
There's also cdtool, which is a commandline interface to CD playing.
I suspect workbone may require a separate mixer/volume control.

Compile them. Usually:
$ make; make install
...where the latter needs to be run as root or staff. If there's no
Makefile, read the sources, or look at what type(s) of files you have
(hint: 'man file').
'workbone' _is_ the executable. Try running it.
...though YMMV.
Peace.
