[QUOTE="bigdude, post: 191202, member: 57287"] I am using the Sony XL1B changer. It is a 200 slot Firewire changer that is currently available from Sony for $199. I beleive it really sells for $399 but they recently dropped the price because there is a new version coming. Maybe the new one is Blue-Ray or something (which will be very cool but very expensive). I was so surprised by the current price I just ordered another one... Today they even have free shipping, which is important since these are big and heavy (the last one cost $60+ to ship). :D I should mention there have been bad issues with these in the past. I have never had any problems with mine, but other users complained about the changers actually scratching their media. If you decide to get one definitely load ONE OLD piece of media (or a copy) to run a test. If you load it, play it, and unload it without seeing saturn ring like radial scratches the unit is fine... I thought I should mention it because a few users said they destroyed a full tray of 200 discs... :o [/QUOTE]
