Kanguru Solutions this week announced its new Autoloader 100, a CD duplicator that the company says can produce 100 CDs at once by pressing a button.
The Kanguru Autoloader has a 52x-speed burning capability, and can copy a full 700M-byte CD in under 3 minutes, Kanguru said. In addition, the device can copy about 20 CDs in about an hour, and the full 100 CDs in about 5 hours. The company says little setup is required, a master CD can get inserted, up to 100 blank CDs are also inserted, and the device runs on its own.
The Autoloader 100 costs $1,599.95, and is aimed at marketing executives, teachers, IT staffs and others who need to mass-produce CDs quickly. Check out the Kanguru Web site for more details.

Posted by: Artrun Productions on July 19, 2003 02:09 PM5 hours for 100 CD's. A single teacher has 100 students. There are probably 40-50 teachers in a school. 50*5= 250 hours, for 1 cd per student. Your talking some serious resource allocation issues.
Posted by: Whoa on February 4, 2004 10:43 AMI have tried this device and it pretty much works as advertised. When you do the math it may seem like a long time, but it's misleading because once you start the copying process, you can walk away and do other things.
Posted by: Keith on February 4, 2004 10:47 AMAs a digital mastering engineer, I understand the importance of allowing a cd duplicator to correctly buffer and transfer the binary code encoded on a master audio cd.
Needless to say that by using the machine to perform the duplication process at the maximum speed rate (52X), it would yield the 100 cds in less than 30 minutes but it would also create errors on all copies.
100 cds in 4 hours or so for an music album, it's consistent with 4X speed recording, which is the only speed rate you would want to duplicate at for accurate copying.
