Multiple CD-ROM drives in Rio Music Manager?

I have two CD-ROM drives. One is the real thing, the other one is a virtual drive created with Daemon tools.
When I open Rio Music Manager, it shows the latter. How do I get it to show the former?

Is the latter a lower ( closer to A ) drive letter?

Temporarily disable the virtual drive?

No, quite the opposite, in fact. I made sure to put the virtual drive at Y:. The real drive is at K.

I'm certain that would work. Also, as l0ser implies, changing the order of the drive letters might work, too. But neither work-around would answer my question, which still stands: How do I fix Rio Music Manager?
In fact, let's assume for a moment that I'm a user with two perfectly valid hardware CD-ROM drives, and I want to use both of them. How would I fix Rio Music Manager to show both, or at least to show the one I wanted to use at any given moment?

Well, first you rewrite the CD-ripping code contained in it to not use RecDev, which is where there's a certain amount of nastiness involved in enumerating CD drives, and of matching their ASPI SCSI LUNs back to a drive letter.
Then, when you've done that, you should be good to go.
In short, you're probably SOL.

I have 2 perfectly working drives (1 DVD-ROM, 1 DVD-R) and both seem to work just fine in RMM (2.96). They show up as drives E: and F:.
Must be something else going on.

Oh, it definitely works, mostly. I even tested it with 3 drives at one point. Must be something screwy with Tony's configuration.
Tony: can you (somehow) find out which ASPI ID has been assigned to your real CD-ROM drive, and which to your virtual one? Maybe they've somehow got the same ID, or maybe one of them doesn't have one? Or maybe they're in the opposite order to the drive letters?
ISTR that it's somewhere in the registry. If I remember later, I'll have a poke around when I get to work (and when I'll have a Windows box handy).

Hey, interesting point. I think that when you create the virtual drive in Daemon Tools, you can assign it any ID you like.
When I get back home, maybe I'll have a chance to give it a try before I get too wrapped up in my first week of work at Microsoft.

Congratulations!
Thanks, guys. I know you'll be giving me some ribbing for it, but keep this in mind: I'll be working on the team that tests the patches and hotfixes that go out. So, being someone who used to complain most vociferously about their bugs, I can now be part of the solution instead. If only a small part.

Nonsense! You should be administering their knowledge database!
