I've never used a changer myself, so I don't know if the "slot ?:"
prefix is new in v3.1 or not, but at first glance I found that a little
confusing.

I assume this is intended to be shorthand for "no specific slot" or "now
that I've checked all the slots, I can report:" or something like that. 

But given that the message that follows doesn't actually apply to a
particular slot, I wonder if it would make sense just to leave off the
"slot ?:" prefix entirely on that line of the output...
