CD-Rom storage/changer

Ok folks I know this things exits and it want one of the multi thousand dollar professional ones but for the life of me I cant find out who made it.

It held a bunch of cd's (like 100) that you catalgoued by slot on the units interface. It connected to your computer and you could use the software to find the cd-rom you wanted by finding it in the catalog and it would go to that slot and start accessing it like it was a cd-rom for your computer.

I have found cd tower things that have like a bunch of cd-rom drives, jukeboxes that do something similiar but cost tens of thousands of dollars but those arent what im looking for. This unit was only a cuple of hundred bucks.

I tried Google but it only gives me results for the enterprise level stuff.

Anyone know what im talking about? I remember seeing it on some tv show.

I think what your talking about is this http://www.kdsusa.com/product_details.asp?prod=48 , I have two of these one I use one is still boxed up actually never got around to using it. They used to carry them at compusa but I think there are just sold through resellers now, however the catagorizing is done on your pc cd drive and then once the software reads the content it keeps it in the software pops open one of the drives and you stick it in the slot that opens on the cd organizer. It's a great way to cut down on what I use it for and thats music samples for everything I use to produce with, the catagorization works really fast as it just scans it..

How about buying a 300GB drive, ripping your CD's to iso's and using "daemon tools" (or nero virtual drive) to mount them whenever you want -- and however many you want.
Cheaper, faster, and fewer moving parts to break.

For audio samples, using lossless FLAC compression you could fit almost 1,000 50-minute CDs worth of samples on one 300 GB hard drive, in 100% exact CD quality.

That's what I've done for my CD collection, I have 2 x 250 GB drives and about 900 of my CDs ripped so far.

Exact Audio Copy to rip, FLAC to encode, Foobar2000 to play (plugins available for other players too), and dbPowerAmp to transcode to other formats.
