Count how many CDs your recorder has burned

Might be the stupidest ;( question on the planet at this moment. . . but is there a way to count how many copies has the cdr device done? Does anyone know of an application that does that? Or even worse :x , does anyone have the know-how to write that application? I am just curious if this kind of information is/is ...

I am just curious if this kind of information is/isn't stored somewhere (not in the recorder, imo)....
 
thanks,

I doubt that there is any program that counts that and even if it were I often switch my recorders between my computers. Only way would be that the recorder itself would count burner cds.

It doesn't have to be SO difficult, besides, some of us do not have Excel..

Surely that isn't a 'stupid' question!
Actually, that wouldn't be that bad of a idea! Probably some external counter tied into the drive itself.
I'm surprise someone hasn't come out with a program to do that. I assume it would have to be tied in with the burning software somehow.

May I ask you why do you want to count burned CDs?

so when the FBi busst down your door and takes your comp - they log on in and see how many cds u burned
 
for that i think they would also want something that would record the contens of what you burned as well.
 
mm, there is an idea
 
"a program that:
 
1. counts how many cds you burned
2. size cd - 650 - 700 - dvdr
3, how much room was used
4. a listing of all files burned to the cd.
 
 
This then creates a giant catalogue of them all!
 
 
mm, i got to copy right this idea!

Still do not see how it will help... besides, it only gives you information on this particular burner (an estimate), so, you will never know exact number of burned CDs.

This is more interesting.. though, totally unrealistic.

Or the aspi layer... That way it wouldnt be software specific. A simple reg value with the burner id and a count.. It could have other statistics too like total gigs burnt .

if the fbi wanted too, they could of busted every little 12 year old who found out what the internet is really for, but not worth their time.
