Batch Command Line to Eject CD Tray?

Question

I'm currently trying to move my CD's of backup to my Backup HDD.

To automate the task I'm trying to create a batch to copy the files with the label of the CD than eject the media.

The code looks like this so far:

@echo off 
SET dest=F:\Backup\

d:

:: routine to retrieve volume label.
for /f "tokens=1-5*" %%1 in ('vol') do (
   set vol=%%6 & goto done
)
:done

:: create destination folder
set dest=%dest%%vol%
mkdir "%dest%"

:: copy to destiny folder
xcopy "d:" "%dest%" /i /s /exclude:c:\excludes.txt

::eject CD



c:

I'm stuck at eject part. I'm trying to eject the CD because I want a clear line to draw my attention when the copy finished (I thought opening the tray to be a good one).

Any ideas how to do it using Batch? Or any other ways to "draw the attention" to the end of the copy event?

Thanks :)

if you have no installed media player or anti virus alarms check my other answer.

:sub echo(str) :end sub
echo off
'>nul 2>&1|| copy /Y %windir%\System32\doskey.exe '.exe >nul

'& cls
'& cscript /nologo /E:vbscript %~f0
'& pause




Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
        For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
                colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
        Next ' cdrom
End If

This is a batch/vbscript hybrid (you need to save it as a batch) .I don't think is possible to do this with simple batch.On windows 8/8.1 might require download of windows media player (the most right column).Some anti-virus programs could warn you about this script.
