  Not exactly fully automated, but cheap.  And after all it is a
cool gadget
  (Even if it does look like a cross between a salad spinner and an
80's
5.25"
  floppy disk box)

  Yeah, I first tried to do it when I was ripping all my cd's but
gave
  up...

  But I thought maybe looking at how the current one's work would
help,
  and I've got a lot of dvd's and dvd-r's to deal with now... :(

  Ouch!  Sounds like a big project!  I thought about
something similar
  recently.  My objective was to quickly and easily rip all my
CDs to MP3.
  With 200 to get through, it's a daunting task, so something
automated
  would
  be great.  I thought of two solutions.

  The first utilised two stacks of discs.  One stack of CDs to be
ripped,
  and
  one of discs already ripped.  Using a mechanism comprising of
servos
  from
  rtadio controlled vehicles to pick the CDs up.  It would pick
up the top
  disc, drop it on the tray, wait for it to rip, pick it up again,
and
  place
  it on the other pile.  The mechanism to actually pick up the
discs was
  my
  main problem.  I thought of using a small rubber-coated spike
which
  would
  pick the CDs up via the hole in the middle.  The CDs would be
ejected
  from
  the mechanism with a small push.  Aligning the device would be
hard,
  IMO.

  The second idea was more care-free.  A stack of discs with a
rod to push
  the
  bottom one into the drive.  It would push a little too far
which would
  cause
  the drive tray to close.  To remove the discs, I though of
using a
  non-scratch pad to lift the disc off the tray, and an arm that
would
  basically hit the cd off sideways into a box like a baseball
bat!  Of
  course, this option wouldn't help you much ;-)
