Bulk Transfer Of CD Library To Hard Disk

    Spent a couple of hours this week cataloguing my jazz CD collection (about 900 discs in all). I would really like to transfer the entire collection to a hard disk (iTunes) just to make listening across the collection less of a chore. Does anybody know of any company in the Cork area providing this service?

    I should stress that my motives are pure....I'm not trying to share/sell my digital copies....this is purely for personal convenience. Having said that, what I'm looking for may not be strictly legal either...I have a faint recollection that there was a company Dublin providing this service but they were closed down.

    Anyhow, any advice greatly appreciated...

    Thanks.

    The only services I know of are in the US. SO you may have to bite the bullet and do it yourself :D

    It's not so bad, takes 10-15 minutes to rip a CD.

    There is a company based in Dublin (on mount street if memory serves me) that is a partner of ripfactory.

    According to their website they have only one company in Ireland that are listed and that's in Belfast (Ripfactory, 244 whitehall rd, Belfast) but I definitely got some info sent to me in the last 10 months that was offering the service in Dublin. I'll try find the info and post it when I do.

    Alternatively you could try a ripserver which is a NAS with cd drive built in which would speed things up.
