XP related question - file assocation

Do we have any registry experts in the house?

I'm trying to make the CD Player that comes with W2K the default player for
..cda files (music CDs) on my computer. I used to run W2K and so I copied
that application (CDPlayer.exe) onto my XP partition, but the registry tweak
I made isn't working for some reason. The player opens up fine when I double
click on the shortcut, but it doesn't auto-play when I pop in a music CD.

These are the 3 changes I made thus far:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cda\OpenWithList\
Added a subkey for 'CDPlayer.exe'

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cdafile\shell\play\command
Changed the default value to: %SystemRoot%\system32\CDPlayer.exe "%L", /Play

When this didn't work, I added a subkey 'CDPlayer.exe' under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications

None of this has worked thus far. What have I missed? I'm completely
stumped.
