I bought a VortexBox. It is a low power / small PC with a 1TB drive and a customized linux? setup. It acts as a music server, the directories are all set up in advance, etc. It was cheap, reliable, and turnkey. It has a built-in software tool to rip the CD's you put in the drive, go off the the internet and get the album / song title info, etc. IIRC, It rips Lossless and MP3. I don't think I have ever had a monitor, mouse, or keyboard plugged into the VortexBox You could also get a NAS and rip from you computer.
I had 1500+ CD's to rip, a new baby, a job, and no time. So I found a guy who specialized in ripping for about $1/CD. There are several folks running these services, but I went with Ready To Play (link below). He was local and had great reviews, so I dropped off the boxes at his shop and came back some days later with my boxes and a hard drive.
I'm pretty sure my glowing review is somewhere on his website. He had lots of manual entry based on my collection of eastern European art rock / punk CD's. He did a spectacular job on the project.
