I wonder if anyone knows about these devices or simillar. These can be linked to PC and controlled by software called Music Library 2.5
disk Library 2.5 Music Library Version 2.5 supports CD changers that connect to a computer by means of an RS232 serial port. The brands of changers currently supported are Sony (available in 200-disc, 300-disc, and 400-disc "carousel" models) and NSM (model CD3101AC, a 100-disc heavy-duty changer found inside many commercial jukeboxes). Sony "CD-only" mega-changers can be attached to an RS232 serial port by means of a SAVR, SAVR2, or SAVR3 adapter (made by I wrote to the software writer to ask if the software was accessible. His response below. does Java mean inaccessible. It does not appear that there is a demo mode of the software. A on line demo was useless. His response below. --- Hi Peter - I am not sure if our software is usable by you. It is written in Java, and it uses a Java-specific variation of the graphical user interface. This is not the standard Windows graphical user interface, although it is similar. In particular, we make no use at all of the menu system, although we do have dialog boxes (Java-style, but very similar to standard Windows dialog boxes). Mostly, our user interface is based on buttons and scrollable selection lists. We also have keyboard support via function keys (F1 through F12) for the must common operations (Play, Pause, Stop, etc.). We have interactive online demos versions of both Disc Library and Music Library. You should try them, perhaps with the assistance of a sighted person, to see if your "screen reader" accessibility tools can handle, or can be adapted to handle, our software. I am fairly certain that the Sony CD megachangers are available in Australia, as we have several customers there. It does appear at this time that Sony is no longer promoting these products, although they have not actually been discontinued (yet). As for the Gracenote CDDB, we are unable to offer it as we are not licensed by them. This will not change. However, you will find that freedb.org is very similar and provides excellent services. The freedb version of the CDDB database was "spun off" from the original CDDB before it was commercialized by Gracenote, and the freedb version has been well-maintained ever since. It is located in Germany.
