Just found this
Someone actually makes the thing I described, to automatically hi speed transfer 20 cd's all at once direct into computer at 40X rate !!!!! It's fast !
Rate is 77 cd's per hour, at 46 seconds per cd !!!!!
Here's the links, the unit can be bought or rented - made by Primera Technology, Inc. (Bravo SE-3 unit)

clic on arrows (Primera site) for specs & videos too.
? there may be other mfrs ?
This looks high quality, fast and a start-up broadcasters' dream ! Can rent to try, then even buy if liked. Anyone willing to try it ?
1st article says you can also send your cd collection off (scary thought) to services which hi-speed rip them to computer format (maybe memory stick or download sent thru email ?, not sure).
Only part not sure of is 1st article says load 20 (different) cd's from collection to transfer to computer. Primare video only shows the standard "printing" duplication, but also says loads into computer in video and description print. Why someone wants 20 of same music title in computer doesn't make sense, so apparently you can use it either way - to simply make cd dupes, or more importantly load into computer (as both articles point out). Likely hit a button to do either function.
Even if had to load one cd by hand to the next cd & so on, it only takes 46 seconds per cd direct into computer file, all done - nothing more to do, no computer software to navigate (other than very initial first install only).
But the 1st article Networkworld really explains it best & the rental program is thru Primare. Networkworld says the stack (different cd titles) loads automatically, without having to do each cd one by one into computer.
Nice !
