So far I've only done CDs, no vinyl, and mostly new stuff soon after I
buy it, or my favorite older CDs as I get around to it. It only takes a
few minutes per CD, and it's not like you have to interact with it as
it goes. Most of it I did by bringing my laptop and a stack of a few
CDs to work each day, and popping in CDs to rip at various breaks in my
work. Lately I haven't been keeping up as well, I'll admit, but it's
not really as time consuming as you make it sound.
