Using Automated CD Duplicators as Mass MP3 Converters?

RobotmanipulaTor asks: "I have a large CD collection I want to convert to MP3 and so do my friends. The last thing we want to do is to manually insert the CD into a drive and convert it. We want to get an extremely basic automated CD duplicator like this and use it to feed CDs to the drive. We could then write some simple software to automate the process, let it run, and presto... MP3's for all. It seems there is a standard control set for the robotic arms, but I can't find any documentation on this. Has anyone done a similar project, or written autoloader software that could be modified?"
