No, I believe you missed the point. The idea is that people are already swapping a handful of CDs in and out of the car every day to listen to them on the drive to work. You put in a new system like this, and do the same thing. Only this time it just remembers the CDs you've put into it.

I agree that it would be a PITA to rip your entire collection in one sitting, but it's not intended for that to be its main use anyway.
