I have used the MF Digital Ripstation for this purpose and have about 3 thousand CD's ripped and ready to transfer. However, it is a 2 stage import process. I do find that files are imported into Sooloos a lot faster than ripping CD's. Attached is a link to their site.

Hi Wayne, which Ripstation product did you get? The Lite version? My laziness (and not the size of my CD collection) is the main motivation for me to consider getting it. How has your experience with it been?

I have the 7602 - 2 drive, 300 disc capacity. It works flawlessly and the metadata is over 95% accurate. I use DB poweramp for those few discs that are not recognized. It makes ripping a large collection very user friendly but it is a big expense, that may or may not be worth it depending on how much you have to do. The smaller unit is probably a good balance of cost/performance.
