MCI CD Audio Load and Eject

[bansl]

Hi,

I have an MCI application that reads/catalogs audio CD's using the CDDB Interface.

There are two things I would like to get it to do that it currently does not;
1) Recognise that a CD has been loaded into the drive, so that I do not need to have a menu item to add a new CD.
2) Eject the drive after the information has been cataloged.

I know that for 2) there are a couple of KB Articles, Q165721 and Q168180, but I would like a simpler, more universal method, if possible.

Many Thanks in advance for any info.

Bryan Anslow.

I have seen this in the MSDN:

mciSendString("Set CDAudio Door Open", "", 0, 0);

But they say it does not work for all devices.
