Hello Nigel Reed!

 NR> So, no. :)

There's noone you can deligate some of the sorting or de- 
stickering to?

Maybe just start with the easy ones that don't have any  
stickers blocking the barcodes?

Scan or take a picture of the barcodes with your phone?

I have a similar dilemma. I promised myself that everytime I  
touched a CD to play it, I would then register it into Discogs.  
That went well for a handful of CDs, but the system fell apart  
when I wanted to play a CD *after* the computers were all shut  
down for the night and the pile of "to-do" discs was too much  
to do later!

The whole process COULD work if I had ample HDD space to rip  
each CD before or after I play it.  That process would be an  
easy way to file the pertinent info automatically.  But.. I  
don't have the HDD space for the project.
