Try the man page.  I seem to recall that it looks for /cdrom which is not 
installed by Colgate.  So you need a link or another mount point besides 
/mnt/cdrom.  Alternatively, you may be able to set an environment 
variable to tell Xcdplay where to look.  Make sure you have the latest 
rpm update; there was a bug in the release that shipped w/ Colgate that 
prevented opening the disc info editor.  BTW, this was not RH's fault.

I prefer Xmcd, but Xcdplay is nice also.
