Do It Yourself CD Changer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the surprisingly-elegant dept.

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.

  1. This actually addresses a very serious need by TerryAtWork · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We really need a cheap CD/DVD jukebox. I've seen them at Comdex etc for $25,000. The hell with that.

    Someone get a carousel CD player at Target for $100 and wire it up to a computer. There's 70,200 megs nearline.

    Anyone up for that?
