The -r in those cp commands is redundant, as the -a takes care of it.

I would recommend against using the -v with a cp command such as this, as it 
will only slow down the copying while cp waits for your terminal to display 
all the lines of output (and there will be a lot of files with these CDs).

The -v is also fairly useless IMHO in this kind of situation, as it will go by 
too fast to be of much use, and since any error messages will be mixed in 
with so much other output, it's more likely than not that you would miss it.
