Identifying and naming discs

Instructions for Windows

When discs are loaded into the Changer, a file is created for each disc. These files are initially listed as UnknownDisc, followed by a number (for example, UnknownDisc_002).

The identify process moves each of the selected discs into a drive, the drive reads the disc, and if there is a volume name associated with that disc, that name replaces UnknownDisc.

Identify and Bulk Identify

To identify an UnknownDisc, navigate to the Changer folder that contains the UnknownDisc, right-click on that disc, and select Identify from the submenu. This causes the disc to be moved into an available drive; the Changer reads the Volume Tag for that disc, and replaces UnknownDisc with that name. The disc is then returned to the carousel.

To identify multiple discs (Bulk Identify), control-click to select multiple discs, then right-click on one of the selected discs and choose Identify Discs from the submenu. This causes the Changer to place each disc, in turn, into a drive, read the Volume Tag, and replace UnknownDisc with that name. Each disc is returned to the carousel once it has been identified.

Manually renaming discs

You can manually rename any of the discs in the MediaFinder window. You might want to do this under the following circumstances:

•There is no volume name tag associated with a disc. In this case, even though you use Identify or bulk Identify, the filename remains UnknownDisc

•The volume name tag is too long, too short, or not sufficiently descriptive to clearly identify the disc contents

To manually rename a disc, use standard Windows renaming function (right click, select Rename). Once a disc has been renamed, right-click on the disc name and select "Update Volume Tag". This assures that the new name is updated in the Changer itself.

Note: Be sure to use Identify or Bulk Identify on the discs first. If you rename a disc, then use the Identify or Bulk Identify command, the original volume name tag for that disc will then replace whatever name you have manually given the disc.

Note: While the Bulk Identify process is occurring, no other Changer functions can be initiated, and the front-panel buttons will be inoperative.
