I ripped about 300 CDs in a couple of weeks by taking them all to work, and shuffling them into the CD tray every time the previous one finished. I only did the ripping (using EAC) during the day. The encoding got done overnight (using Lame).

I wish that EAC had facilities for this -- it'll eject the CD when it's done, but you still have to click on it to rip the next one -- it ought to notice the tray shutting and rip the next one automatically.

The limiting factor, I found, was the fact that I only had enough hard disk space to store about 15 ripped CDs at once.

Then, in the morning, I uploaded the whole lot onto the empeg, and got ready to do the next batch.

I must remember to bring the CDs home at some point, but I don't actually need them for anything, anymore.
