When you insert CD into CDROM, it reads CD's serial number, number of songs, length of songs and then looks into .ini file to see if there is mentioned anything like that CD :) -- <<<<< JustMUSIC POLITIKA PROSTITUTKAMA, 22% GLAZBENICIMA >>>>> ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://pgp.rasip.fer.hr:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x15314CB5 ICQ UIN#: 7188440 (mANiaC)

In that you will find a list of every single CD ID, followed by a list of every track and its assigned name. Dwayne

Also, you might want to look up the phrase "High Sierra" as I seem to remember a massive read me document (about 25 pages) about how to write machine code CD drivers /players etc., and that name was in there somewhere. I have just wiped a DAT tape that had that information on!!!! Richard.

Qan #5 / 6	cd player writing on cd-rom?????? Yeah! I had an example that used mci commands and the winmm.dll. Could you shed some light on how i can get this Title? Then i can put it in a box. I have researched this on the net and in books and nothing could be found! I found many simple examples but none covered this! I also need to be able to modify this Title at runtime. So if anyone has any ideas, please help me out! Thanks!

John Rya #6 / 6	cd player writing on cd-rom?????? Windows CD-Player uses a file "cdplayer.ini" in the windows dir to remember the names of all the cds. open it, it's fairly simple.
