ABSTRACT:
Media unit access time within a media library is minimized by revectoring an address of a closest available media unit player to match a logical address of a media unit player specified within a media exchange command received from a host commanding the library to move a media unit from a command-specified slot location holding a media unit desired by a host computer to the command-specified media player logical address.
