[Ti] AAC vs MP3 (slightly OT)

Khyber Courchesne paused, thought it over, and spoke thusly:

Re-rip, definitely. Re-importing an already-imported mp3 will not 
replace or enhance whatever lossiness was involved in the first rip. 
Remember VHS video tapes?  All that washed-out color on copies of 
copies? It's worse where audio is concerned.

Ripping a CD to WAV, and then a256k bit rate minimum [assuming you 
must have an mp3 version] is the way to go, for me. But extra 
[non-built-in] drives are necessary if you collect on any scale at 
all.
