Auto CD-to-IPod Loader, “Coming Soon”

Cult of Mac ()

iLoad

Coming soon: the iLoad, a gizmo for loading CDs right onto the iPod. There’s no details except the promise it’s “coming soon” and this:

iLoad copies your CDs onto and iPod or other Digital Music Player, along with all album and track data at a high rate of speed.

The site says the “iLoad” trademark is owned by Wingspan Partners of Campbell, CA, which claims to be also working on a MagLev train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas!

I wonder why anyone would want a CD loader when the computer already does a pretty good job ripping CDs. And where will the track data come from? ITunes goes online to fetch them; will this?

    I thought the MagLev comment was a joke until I visited Wingspan’s web site. I wonder how they determined what the demand was for the iLoad?

    This would *completely* increase the appeal for iPods, especially for a lower income bracket. If you can’t afford a computer, you can still get an iPod: just buy an iLoad and load your CDs on up.

    Also, it could be a kind of instant-gratification thing: load a CD onto the iPod the instant after you buy it. This is if for some reason you can’t use the iTMS. . .
