According to the type of files system, the name of volume is not at the same 
place. If your CD-ROM hasn't detected as ISO 9660 files system, GWhere 
cannot read the volume name. 

Can you send me the result of (cdrom.iso.gz) with severals CD-ROM please :
dd ibs=1 count=40000 if=/dev/cdrom > cdrom.iso
gzip cdrom.iso 

In this way, I will be abble to improve the ISO 9660 files system detection. 



Best regards,
