I agree with you.

That's why I bought a digital recorder, so that I don't have to buy music I already have. Whatever quality that exists with the recording on the LP is what it's going to be.

The goal was to have all of my music in a digital format with CD's and LP's so that I can play them back from a music server.

As far as the LP's go, I would much rather invest in good quality used LP's that I don't have rather than reissues of things that I do.

In other words, I'm making my own "high resolution" files from LP's. That may not give me the same quality as something directly from the master tapes, but it's music that I already own. I don't care what is available online for download, whether HD or not. If an album is going for more than $10.00 I'll keep buying the redbook CD for new stuff and a used LP for older stuff.

Edit: At last count, I've ripped over 600 CD's and have recorded over 700 LP's. I'm over halfway through a bit more than 1,300 LP's. The total collection takes up about 800 GB.
