this thread is damn old. Nice work though, I was complaining about scanning a 79 page text book.

I should've started a thread like this when I started ripping my cd collection over a year ago...

problem is, I have no clue how many discs I have or how many I have left at this point

I know, I'll hijack yours! and guesstimate other than the total GB used

510 GB ripped so far, estimated 350 discs left to go!

Make PDF's of the jpegs....... then I can recycle the orignal magazines and save so much space.

How much space are the mags taking up?

<Grand Nagus>That big of a collection, you might want to sell it on ebay or donate it to the public library for a tax write off

Because I am not finished...... and come to think of it I will never be finished unless all those magazines go bankrupt :p
