I did the latter... got a 100 disc CD-ROM changer on ebay a couple years ago.
But I haven't gotten around to writing the software to control it yet. I found
documentation, it's easy enough to control, but I want to build some sort
of filesystem abstraction with a directory per disc, and when you try to read
a file in the directory, it loads the right disc... and also does hard-drive
caching of files, so that several MP3's can be read at the same time. The
commercial product which does this is an NFS server; so I figured I could
do the same thing... find some NFS daemon which is simple enough that
I can understand the code (hopefully), and hack it to do what I need.
But 650 megs * 100 is 65 gigs... so already I could replace it with a single
hard drive. But the changer looks much cooler. :-)
