Here's my semi-automated method to rip large numbers of cds into itunes on a Mac Mini.
- Place the Mini as close to you as possible and get comfortable.
- Log in as you normally do.
- Make sure the computer is connected to the internet.
- Launch iTunes and go into Preferences.
- Under the General tab, where it says "When you insert a CD," select "Import CD and Eject."
- Close Preferences, but keep iTunes running.
- Disconnect the monitor and keyboard if they're in the way.
- Pop in cds and wait for them to eject.
Sometimes a cd will prompt you to choose a version from the on-line database. In these cases, you obviously need the monitor and mouse.
I've ripped hundreds of cds this way while sitting on the couch watching tv.
I hope this helps!
