When did it years ago I saved the .aiff files for archiving which is the uncompressed digital data direct from the CD. From there I could create the compressed files in any format at any time in the future without needing to repeat the manual process of loading/ripping the physical CDs again.
Storage is still somewhat cheap, if not as cheap as years past.
I too, rip to AIFF.
But then I re-rip some CDs to ALAC.
What is an easy way to batch convert some AIFF to ALAC, instead of re-ripping some CDs.
Back before times of cheap storage, to save space I'd only rip some songs from a CD.
That was a mistake, as I found I now like some that weren't ripped.
So it's much easier, now with somewhat cheap storage, to rip the whole CD, maybe with the exception of some tune you just hate.
