	I just finished writing a CD Player for Win3.1, and I put in all the
hooks to add a CD Database later.  The reason I didn't add it yet is that I
don't know of any MCI (or even DOS) call to get a unique name/label for an
audio CD.  Microsoft uses a label like this for the CD Player they provide with 
NT, but never mentions how they do it.  A unique label is necessary to show the
correct information (like song titles) for a CD.  So, does anybody know of any
MCI call I can make from Win3.1 to do this sort of thing?  Your help would be
greatly appreciated...  Post or e-mail the response.
