Best way to re-capture into AAC?

[Eric Irwin]

Apple thought of this!  When you insert the CD and tell it to import, a 
dialog box will come up and ask if you want to replace the existing 
files (that is if you have imported that CD to MP3 before).  If you 
tell it to replace the existing files, it will keep all the information 
from the MP3 file (date added, play count, play lists, rating, 
comments, maybe even more).

So, feel free to re-rip your CDs to AAC without having any work to 
rebuild playlists or tags.

The big question is, do the files you rip to AAC have the DRM in them? 
or is it just the files you get from the Apple music site that have the 
DRM?
