I really appreciate the well thought out info. It's much as I expected. I think what really stood out to me was the "thin veil" you spoke of.I'm going to do some testing, as you recommended, and see if there's a major problem. If so, it really won't be that big of a deal to create a folder and start sticking new rips in it when I have the time. Before I know it I'll have my entire collection re-ripped. I can always listen to my old rips until I get everything redone.
As for WMA......this is seriously something I pained over when I started this, fully knowing that once I put all this work in, I wouldn't want to have to rethink everything. That is rarely possible though. Good audio is all about constantly re-thinking and questioning your decisions! It's never just quite right.
Anyway, I vacillated between Monkeys audio, Flac and WMA. I guess we could really start a war here, but there's a few things that keep me with WMA despite the fears of the future; which are quite valid. I'm not going to go into it, but I think at this stage it's a roll of the dice what things are going to look like 5-10 years from now. The good thing about lossy formats is that you can always convert them to another format when needed (unless you DRM'd them). So, if I look up someday and WMA isn't cutting it, I'll just convert them to another format.
Thanks again for the info!
