Is there an easy way to read the volume label name on a CD?

Is there a good way to test for the presence of a CD in the drive?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Right over my head. Could you point me to an example?


Thanks.

Hi Greg,

You might try the GetVolumeInformation API through P/Invoke.
