Do It Yourself CD Changer
SuperDuG writes "This is a true homebrew solution to saving a few bucks when it comes to cd changers. And to make it even better the whole setup is controlled by none other than linux. Seems like a nice setup to do batch burns without user interaction. Source is provided if you wanted to build your own." Not sure if this is very practical, or even if it would be cheaper than buying a changer, but it sure looks cool.
How long until the RIAA sends out a cease and desist for the publication of this "device to potentially increase the efficiancy of copryright-infringment?"

Nothing spells chick-magnet like a wooden contraption designed to require less movement.
Hank! White!
What kind of geek are you?
Geek code 101: You are supposed to make things like this out of Legos.
A five gigabyte photo collection?
Can we say: porn?
Wouldn't a "do it yourself" CD changer be where you actually get up and change the CD yourself?
" If I wanted to, I could SSH log into it while at work, load a CD in the tray, burn it, and remove it all remotely. Of course, the CD would still be in my basement, so the exercise would be somewhat pointless!" :)
That's simple. Just build an add on that carries it up stairs, sticks it in an addressed envelope and drops it in the mail.
But still I would have preferred it in aliminium or likewise... But it's cool to see non-computer materials (wood etc) beeing used in a computer environment in that way.
;)).

Bah, I just use my kid brother. "Yo, urchin! Fetch the next batch of CD's will you? There's a nice shiny nickel in it for you and if they get burned before 5 o'clock, a chocolate bar!"
I'm working on training my dog next.
...what a CD changer would look like if it was built by the Amish.
They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...
"Do-it-yourself cd changer" ? Isn't that the way a single disc cd player works already?

of the time when my friends dad couldn't afford a new Playstation 2 for Christmas. Christmas morning rolls around and my friend finds a Playstation 2 carved out of wood under the tree.....

Now if they were truely geeks, they would've made it out of a Lego Mindstorm kit.

Isn't there some way to build this out of floppy disks?
Is the mother of invention. Gotta love it. :)
If you can read this sig - the bitch fell off.
or does every Flintstones episode come to mind at this moment?
I wonder how many devices this counts as, given the RIAA's suspect formula? If his CDRW writes at 24x, boy is he in the s**t ;-)
When I am king, you will be first against the wall.
Now that would be progress!
Yes, in the tropics I'm lucky to have the ambition to burn even 3 CD's per hour. (It's not the heat, it's the humidity.)

Enjoy your job, make lots of money, work within the law. Choose any two.

Under capitalism man exploits man. Under communism it's the other way around.
I am however much more impressed by his organ as he does not only need some manual skills but also a good ear to set it up.
Too easy, dear god! Must...not...become...Slashdot...troll...!

I'll save you time, it's: black, brown, rainbow, gray, white. Why remember 10 things when you can just remember 5?
