This article was previously published under Q147654 SUMMARY
Part of the Multimedia standard calls for all Audio CDs to have a unique
volume identifier following a specific (suggested) format of:
XXXX is the alpha vendor code, and ##### is a five-digit unique number for
the CD. This information is stored on the inner track of the CD and is also
usually etched on the inner edge of the inside ring of the CD. Not all
manufacturers have a unique volume identifier, nor do all follow this
standard volume label format. Although this is a standard, at this time the
MultiMedia Application Programming Interface (API) does not have a built-in
function that will retrieve this information. This article shows you how to
retrieve or create this information programmatically.
