a class to controll atapi cd-rom?

Anyone know if there are, or know where I could find, any classes that are used to make
an atapi cd-rom drive play music cd's? ie: play, pause, next track, etc.
I am building a small cd player application and the only problem I have is actually getting the
thing to work ;>
I am hoping that I don't have to resort to native methods to do this so if anyone know's a way
i'd be gratefull.

Thanks

OKay. You must call routines that change and read the contents
of interupts in registers for the io to and from the device.
So you must use native methods.

Do you know of any toolkits out there that may help me to do this?

Can someone write (or has someone writen) a driver in java, for specific platforms?
As we speak I am working on a winblows machine but I will be quite happy to get my
program to work in Linux only.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel here, it would be nice to be able to use other people's code ;>
