Burning 12 CDs doesn't mean lots of work. The biggest time is spent with
digitizing especially if your source CDs have scratches, which are usually
just across the most wanted song. Since the songs have to be ripped anyway
with iTunes or something else they should be somewhere, possibly on the
internal HD and making CDs, either MP3 or CDDB is very easy. The most
difficult step for me is to decide which songs or albums I want.

And with copying CDs/MP3s to the iPod you double the amount of data on a
relatively sensitive medium. Any HD, also the one of the iPod can crash and
then the data is lost. A CD can not crash mechanically. Okay, a CD is more
sensitive against dust and scratches but in the mechanical sense it is
probably more durable then a harddrive.

Maybe there is any sort of USB<->FW or Ethernet<->FW adapter?
