Do It Yourself CD Changer

SuperDuG writes "This is a true homebrew solution to saving a few bucks when it comes to cd changers. And to make it even better the whole setup is controlled by none other than linux. Seems like a nice setup to do batch burns without user interaction. Source is provided if you wanted to build your own." Not sure if this is very practical, or even if it would be cheaper than buying a changer, but it sure looks cool.

There isn't much that I plan on using this gadget for. I guess mostly its for bragging rights. That, and I hadn't hooked up anything to a PC's printer port in ages. If I wanted to, I could SSH log into it while at work, load a CD in the tray, burn it, and remove it all remotely. Of course, the CD would still be in my basement, so the exercise would be somewhat pointless!

at least he is honest. no need to justify a tinkering project under the guise that it is somehow useful. Tinker for tinker's sake I say!

It's a shame wood is an underestimated material. There is nothing as easy to handle as wood. Now, what would the added value of aluminium be? price? the need to buy new tools?
