Does this exist? - program to automatically copy cd's to HD

[sP]

There MUST be a (hopefully freeware) program that would copy cd after
another to a specified folder, then beep thru computer speaker or play
wav and open the tray.

I've got dozens of cd's I need to copy to my HD. It would be easy just
to pop a cd in tray, it would be copied to my HD, then audio
notification would alert me to give the next disc and so on... I could
be watching TV and wouldn't even need my monitor on

Anyone know anything?

Ok, I figured this out: it can be done using NirCmd and a simple
batfile.

Put NirCmd.exe to a folder included in your path variable. Put the CD in
CD tray, LEAVE it open, run this bat:

NirCmd.exe cdrom close X:
Xcopy X:\*.* /S /E E:\CDR
NirCmd.exe beep 500 100
NirCmd.exe cdrom open X:

X obviously being the letter of your CD drive. NirCmd closes the CD
tray, Xcopy copies all files and folders to a folder on HD (in this
example E:\CDR), then NirCmd beeps through computer speaker and opens
the tray for the next CD.

You can set a shortcut key to run the bat, for example with WinKey. So,
no need to keep the monitor open
