Well, I am using the changer to keep MP3's (ripped from my own CD's) online,
so there is a possibility of a disk change every 5-7 minutes or so while
random playing.  It would be nice if there was a minimum of 30 seconds or so
per slot (and/or if it would buffer the next 4-5 megs of the currently being
read file).

There is possibly another drive identical to mine in a local store...  I can
check again tomorrow (Monday). If it is still available and cheap enough, I
could perhaps send it your way (it is an old NEC 252/6x 4-disk changer).

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have to at least consider
the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidæ on
our hands (Douglas Adams -- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency)
