Vinpower Cronus Robotic CD Ripper – 4 DVD Drives – Windows 11 – dBpoweramp500 disc capacity
WORKING – Custom Configured for Automated CD Ripping – Similar in purpose to the Acronova Nimbie
This listing is for a custom-configured Vinpower Cronus robotic CD-ripping system, designed for automated bulk ripping of audio CD collections.
Unlike conventional CD rippers, this system uses a robotic arm to handle discs and four DVD drives to provide high-throughput ripping. It includes a powerful Windows 11 computer with the ripping software installed and configured. No separate computer is required.
Features
Automated disc handling: Robotic arm loads and unloads CDs.
500 disc capacity
Four DVD drives: Designed for high-throughput bulk ripping.
Custom dBpoweramp configuration: Set up for automated audio CD ripping.
Built-in Windows 11 computer: No external computer required.
Multiple output formats: Rip and convert CDs to FLAC, WAV, MP3, and other supported formats.
Online metadata: Retrieve album and track information with an internet connection.
Can be used to bulk archive/duplicate data from CDs and DVDs using Vinpower's native BP2000 software which is per-installed.
An Alternative to the Acronova Nimbie
The Acronova Nimbie was a popular solution for automated CD ripping, but it is no longer in production. Options for automating the ripping of large CD collections are now limited.
The Vinpower Cronus was originally designed primarily as a robotic CD/DVD duplication system. This unit has been custom configured to run dBpoweramp for automated audio CD ripping, transforming it into a powerful and efficient automated platform for digitizing large music collections.
The robotic arm provides for a much more reliable disc-handling approach from the gravity-fed mechanism used by the Nimbie. CDs sticking together during the ripping process due to static electricity or humidity can be problematic. From the video you can see the arm is programed to shake each disc it picks up before loading to ensure that the discs aren't stuck together.
For large collections, this is a very attractive alternative for those looking to truly automate their ripping workflow, otherwise you'd have to sit there and baby sit the ripping process.
Condition and History
Purchased brand new in August 2026 specifically to archive a personal CD collection ahead of a move to a smaller home.
The system was used for that project and is now being sold because the collection has been digitized to hard drives.
The unit is working and in new/mint condition.
What You Will Need
The computer and ripping software are installed and configured. Please note the software licensing and transfer arrangements should be confirmed with the seller before purchase.
A great opportunity for a music collector, archivist, or anyone looking to automate the digitization of a large audio CD library.
Terms & Conditions:All Sales Final. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE COMMITTING TO PURCHASE.
