One more thing Dan. If you intend to RIP all of your cds to your pc, and you want to ensure that you are getting a 'bit for bit' copy, then you simply MUST use something good like EAC (Exact Audio Copy), and use it properly, otherwise, you'll likely loose bits in the process. Audio CD formats are not like computer data files (i.e. .wav, FLAC, SHN, etc) and contain no check sum (ensuring data integrity) algorithms. That's a whole 'nuther topic of discussion....
Caveat...All of this probably doesn't matter to the average listener, but you did direct you question to 'audiophiles'...and we're pretty anal about this stuff
