800k? are you insane? even if everything else is automated and you have 800K devices at your fingertip ready to go, the simple amount of time to lift CD, open player tray / insert CD / close tray is in decades!.
Let's say you do this 8 hours per day for 5 days. The above series of movements can take around 30 seconds. That's 400k minutes which results in 400k / 40 hours == 10k weeks. At 50 weeks per year (only 2 weeks vacation each year) that still results in 200 years!!. Even if you do one CD every second this result in 200 years / 30 ==~7 years.
I very well might be. I took over Murfie when they shut down, and am in the process of re-building the company.
People don't understand the scale, and why I might want to make sure I do it right the first time rather than get halfway through and have to start over because I missed something.
Ah, I made a terrible mistake on my Math above. It's 400k minutes which is actually only 6666.66 hours (400k / 60). So in the end you'll have only 200 years / 60 = 3.33 years.
I suppose you're going to pay people to do it, so lemme help you a little.
6667 hours at let's say $15/hour that's roughly one million dollars for this task. I hope you have large pockets ;).
Actually your math is way off. I don't think it will take more than about 10 seconds per disc to process them if I get things set up right and everything is well organized and streamlined.
That's 6 per minute.
360 per hour.
800,000 should take about 2,222 hours.
I've got a bunch of people that will work for about $10/hour, and that's only $22,220 worth of labor over 277 days for 1 person.
I will need to verify each disc. I may not have to rip all of them, but I will probably do some sort of rapid de-duplication check. It will probably be much more involved than the normal toc disc id though. I might compare bits from random areas of each disc to verify it is the correct pressing. I'm still not 100% sure how I'll do it, but I don't want to store more than I have to.
I'd like to be able to take the pieces of a broken disc and verify somehow that it's a legit copy. Then I'd treat the pieces like every other copy of that disc and give the owner access.
