You can go ahead and write such a beast, but if the tapes are already

Mmm, as far as I know amcheck can tell me if the correct tape is loaded,
but I'll stil need to write something that will run amcheck, check the
results of it (does it return a status or do I have to check the text
it outputs), then run amtape next slot, check again, and loop untill
it gets a good status (or has checked all slots).
With my changer (and chg-zd-mtx), amtape will scan through all available
slots until it finds (or doesn't) the tape with the label it's expecting.
