Method and apparatus for copying data from recordable media directly to portable storage devices
First Claim
1. A method for transferring data from a recordable media to a portable storage device, comprising:
- reading the content of the recordable media using a copying device;
converting the content of the recordable media from a first format to a second format; and
transferring the content in the second format from the copying device onto the portable storage device;
wherein the content in the second format includes track information from a database included in the copying device;
and wherein at least two of the reading, converting, and transferring can occur at the same time.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for copying data from a recordable media to a portable storage device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a copying device comprising a processor, a memory, and a user interface. The processor is preferably a dual core processor that is capable of dividing the tasks to be performed, and executing them substantially simultaneously. Using the disclosed apparatus, transferring files from the recordable media to the portable storage device may be achieved at greater than real time play rates. When audio files are stored on the recordable media, the apparatus is capable of transferring the audio files, including track information, to the portable storage device.
