heh. I had finished ripping my entire 200+ CD collection into MP3 when Apple came out with AAC.

I had just finished re-ripping as 256 Kb/s AAC when Apple came out with Apple Lossless.

I haven't gotten around to re-ripping again... Partly due to the fact that only the shuffle supports automatic downsampling, and I don't feel like having two copies of all of my music. (As it is, my AAC collection is about 25 GB. If I re-ripped all my CDs as lossless, my iTunes Library wouldn't fit on the external hard drive I have it on.)
