Storing your disks in a CD/DVD Carousel system

 

Storing your CDs and DVDs with the Ziotek CD/DVD Carousel

If you have a large CD or DVD collection, finding the disk you're looking for can be a challenge. It also takes up a huge amount of space. With the Ziotek CD/DVD Carousel, you can both save space and find your albums or movies quickly. The carousel enables you to store all your disks in a jukebox system. With our integrated solution, you can select your movie in Movie Collector (or album in Music Collector) and then click the Eject button in the software to automatically rotate the carousel and eject the correct disk.

The carousel is connected to your PC via a standard USB connector. Each carousel can contain 150 disks; you can hook up multiple units (up to a maximum of 127). The carousels are stackable up to 3 units high.
You can also manually select a disk by entering its slot number with the keypad on the front of the unit.

We stopped selling the carousel ourselves, but you can still order them at Cyberguys

Software Support

Movie and Music Collector provides integrated support for the CD/DVD carousel. The devices are recognized automatically when they are connected to your computer, and the software assigns each one a 'Storage Device' number. You can then enter the slot number where you placed the disk; Movie or Music Collector now knows where to find the disk - and you can eject it right from the software.

The "Find Available Slot" function searches for a free slot on the selected carousel, so you can always insert a new disk in a place that is guaranteed to be available.
