 How can I get the serial number of an Audio CD?


How can I get the serial number of an Audio CD?   

    The cd may or may not have a serial number and/or Universal Product Code embedded in the cd. The MCI Windows extension does provide this functionality through the MCI_INFO_MEDIA_IDENTITY command. This command will return a unique ID string consisting of 6 hexadecimal digits. Example:

    uses MMSystem, MPlayer;
    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      mp : TMediaPlayer;
      msp : TMCI_INFO_PARMS;
      MediaString : array[0..255] of char;
      ret : longint;
    begin
      mp := TMediaPlayer.Create(nil);
      mp.Visible := false;
      mp.Parent := Application.MainForm;
      mp.Shareable := true;
      mp.DeviceType := dtCDAudio;
      mp.FileName := 'D:';
      mp.Open;
      Application.ProcessMessages;
      FillChar(MediaString, sizeof(MediaString), #0);
      FillChar(msp, sizeof(msp), #0);
      msp.lpstrReturn := @MediaString;
      msp.dwRetSize := 255;
      ret := mciSendCommand(Mp.DeviceId,
                            MCI_INFO,
                            MCI_INFO_MEDIA_IDENTITY,
                            longint(@msp));
      if Ret <> 0 then begin
       MciGetErrorString(ret, @MediaString, sizeof(MediaString));
       Memo .Lines.Add(StrPas(MediaString));
      end else
        Memo .Lines.Add(StrPas(MediaString));
      mp.Close;
      Application.ProcessMessages;
      mp.free;
    end;
    end.
