    Sony make a range of CD and DVD multichangers. I think the CD ones go up to 400 CD's (CDP CX-450) and the DVD/CD ones up to 300. The DVD changer has got reasonable reviews in the low/mid range market. Both of these units have serial interfaces but ONLY the CD changers allow for full remote control. The DVD interface is only useful for cascading two units together.
 
Nirvis (www.nirvis.com) make a device called Slink-e that connects to the CD changers to give you full remote cataloguing and control including cross fading between multiple players etc but not for the DVD as the interface doesn't support it.
 
    If you want more info I use one of these with dual changers.
 
    Mechanical automation through robotics would seem a huge undertaking with questionable results.

Subject: [ukha_d] Cd changers

Hi all,
 
Anyone here have any experience with cd/dvd changers?
 
I seem to remember talk of a sony unit.
 
What I am after is building a pc based one for feeding the dvd drive with disks and storing them again.
 
Does anyone on the list have experience of robotics?
 
I'm not sure where to start!
 
J
