It is not a virus, the original poster even included the source code in question. Windows Media Player exposes several objects and methods to scripting through a safe-for-scripting, signed ActiveX control. Among those objects are the CD drive objects, which each have an Eject method. This is documented functionality in WMP, if you want to you can easily push the drive in and out in a constant cycle. If you don't like the features then don't use the product :) I remember people asking questions about ejecting CD drives back in 2000, and remember putting up an example in early 2001 ( http://jscript.dk/2001/3/cdrom.jpg ).
