A while back I've made a few impulse buys and ended up with around 300 shareware CDs. Mostly cover CDs from random software/game magazines 1995-2003.
I'd very much like to sit down some day and archive everything to push it to archive.org for others to browse around.
The hardware wouldn't be the problem. A random system from the basement, 10-20 DVD drives, 1-2 SSDs.
My problem is the software side. I need a nice little program that can use all those drives at once and give the the iso files (I guess iso would be a good format?) a somewhat decent name (numbered, assigned to each drive, would do). Logfile would be nice also, I just take that as a given.
Then I need to somehow combine all the iso's with their respective logfile, scans of the CD covers (mostly CD only, but some got sleeves with content listing and a bit of artwork).
The cherry on top would be to index the content of every CD to make searching for specific stuff a bit easier.
Thats all theory right now. I would appreciate ideas and recommendations about how I can deal with all that somewhat efficiently.
