ABSTRACT:
A CD changer system has a CD changer which operates in conjunction with a driver program and a personal computer. The CD changer has a magazine for storing disks at a plurality of disk storage locations and a transport mechanism for individual loading disks in the magazine. The driver program displays storage icons corresponding to the disk storage locations and allows a user to operate the CD changer via input from a mouse. The user check marks, or tags, selected storage icons to control whether the CD changer reads directory data from disks to be stored in corresponding storage locations. Once a storage icon is tagged, a disk associated with the storage icon cannot be ejected from the CD changer until the tagged storage icon is untagged. The driver program allows the user to select a number of disks in the storage locations for a sequential ejecting and loading operation.
