Sony's VGP XGL1B is capable of ripping 200 CDs, while I sleep. It works with Vista or MCE 2005 to gather album art and liner notes for both CDs and DVDs. It can house, and catalog 200 DVDs and (with Vista) act as a CD/DVD jukebox with a really cool interface that can be controlled with a remote.

I don't mind if it is loud, or if it takes time to locate one DVD in a 200-disc carousel. In fact I think that would be kinda cool... like a through back to a 1950's style jukebox.

Is there a downside to buying one of these? I know that disk space is cheap, but I don't want to waste time ripping DVDs. To me, this product sounds too good to be true. If there is a downside, please let me know. I found one for $200. Is it worth it?

Thanks for your feedback!
