I ripped my 1000+ cds in about 1 month. I specifically designed my scripts so that ripping was a separate task from "meta data" inputting. I'd bring a stack of 50ish discs to work and start ripping. The cd tray would open when it was done and I'd put in the next one and close the tray. That's the only interaction, and I could just deal with switching them all day. Then at night when I got home I'd do a meta-data pass, collecting the info from cddb/etc and finalizing everything. I'm not going to say it's not work, but holy cow it's worth it in the end.
