CD-ROM identification through serial number

Question

I am interested in CD identification.

My Question:

Is there a serial number that can be retrieved programmatically?

Edit (Resolved):

1. VB version
2. Delphi version

Answer 1

Try this code in VB

Private Declare Function GetVolumeInformation Lib "Kernel32" Alias "GetVolumeInformationA" (ByVal lpRootPathName As String, ByVal lpVolumeNameBuffer As String, ByVal nVolumeNameSize As Long, lpVolumeSerialNumber As Long, lpMaximumComponentLength As Long, lpFileSystemFlags As Long, ByVal lpFileSystemNameBuffer As String, ByVal nFileSystemNameSize As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim Serial As Long
    'Get the volume information
    GetVolumeInformation "d:\", vbNullString, 255, Serial, 0, 0, vbNullString, 255

    MsgBox Hex(Serial)
End Sub 

This should serve as a proof of concept for you. You can adapt this to your language of choice.
