Burning Multiple Audio CDs at Once, in 2017

[nostrocrompt]

I'm putting together a pc build for a local record store, and in addition to light recording and podcasting work, they want the ability to burn a lot of free mix cds for customers on a fairly regular basis - on the order of 100+ a month. I was thinking, okay, we'll just get a part list and case that can accommodate 3+ drive bays, cram some burners in there, and we're good to go, right? It then occurred to me that this might require some specialized software, and you may be surprised to hear that a google search for "burning multiple cds at once" doesn't turn up many results from after 2005. From my research it looks like Roxio Easy CD & DVD burner can burn audio cds to multiple drives at once, so if I build this thing with 3-4 internal CD/DVD burners that should handle that volume in a day or two, depending. My question is - is this a viable way to provide quick cd duplication capabilities for this business, and is Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burner the right software for the job? Has anyone else out there recently built a pc with cd duplication being a major part of the use case (and by recently I mean in the past 10 years, ha)?

I built a data duplicator pc. I just had a ryzen 4 core 8 thread processor. 16gb ram. 5 lg dvd burners.
Windows 10 Home

I used the on board sata controller and I used Nero which has a option to do multi burners at once. I used a WD black hard drive to handle the throughput. I am switching over to SSD soon.

Works absolutely fine for duplicating. I don't use it for anything else.

Wow, thank you for the prompt reply! I was looking at the Ryzen 5 1400 myself, so it's great to hear that a similar build is already working out in the real world. I will definitely give Nero a look; from what I read it looks like Roxio would probably work but the general lack of recent updates and news about the software made me a little nervous. The fact that Nero has "2017" in the title gives me a little more confidence, ha. Thank you again!

I used the ryzen 1400 it was cheap, but I went father with it and turned off all windows 10 features I didn't need running, turned off all theme options, etc.
