I am trying to maintain a catalog of CD's.  Clearly they cannot all be 
mounted at the same time.  Is there any way I can retrieve some sort of 
unique reference of a volume so I can later check to see if two 
folders/files are on the same volume (without requiring that volume to 
be mounted).

The FSSpec contains the vRefNum, but its only guarantied to be unique 
while the volume is mounted, and used to distingish between other 
mounted volumes.
