I'll re-phrase: I never want to rip the same CD twice. By maintaining exact copies (AIFFS, WAVs), we have the luxury of trying any lossy compression codec that comes down the pike, always starting with pristine audio data. Those who rip to lossy compression like mp3 cannot reap the benefits of better lossy compression (e.g., AAC) or lossless compression. Once that first lossy encoding happens, audio data (quality) is lost forever and it's back to the (shudder) CD and ripping all over again. Let's all be thankful that disk prices are plummeting and lossless compression codecs are a reality.
