Yeah, sound fine so far...

There's an archive on Aminet called MaVaTi-something (type mavati into the
search page), which has various pieces of source code, including some stuff for
using CDs...since the CD file systems generally don't list CDDA cds as volumes,
you'll have to do it using actual cd commands (ie the MaVaTi stuff or there's
cdplay.library, which I /almost/ had working ;) - the MaVaTi stuff can tell
the difference between CD-ROMs and CDDA CDs, but it takes a bit of digging
through the source and re-arranging it to suit, but if you only want it to
test for CDDAs, you'll be able to ditch most of it (but your users will have
to set it up to use their particular CD device)...
Hopefully that'll help...
See ya,
But what is all this fear of and opposition to oblivion? What
is the matter with the soft darkness, the dreamless sleep?
