Paul, The program didn't like it if i stopped play, used file manager to force a data disk into the drive and resume play. On trying to resume play Windows did "Quick exit to DOS <POOF!>" Since your program seems to detect Eject signals, i assume that eject for the DRM-600 refers to the whole cartridge, rather than an individual disk. These programs seem to assume i have one cd player and that i'll want to play audio disks in the first drive. Yours did not seem affected by the Control Panrl Drivers "CD Audio" setting. I did like the fact that you pull an id off the disk.

This should not happen! One of the things we pride ourselves on is the stability of CDPlayer. A thought has occured as to what the problem may be, CDPlayer thinks that you are using drive X if you make drive X unavailable, by switching to drive Y using another program drive X is no lnger availabel. The system then issues an instruction to drive X and windows does not like it. I am surprised at this, especially the exit to DOS, as I would have anticipated a simple error message being returned. What happens if you switch to drive Y and then try to do a directory of X using file manager or from DOS? Paul.
