I have commited code to current that does this. It is still VERY much alpha code, and it will eat your changer for lunch if you do mount all CD's and does simultanious reads on them :) I have more finished on my dev machine, but its not ready for full scale use yet. I hope to get time to finish it after newyear.. Søren
