Best way to re-capture into AAC?

[Eric Irwin]

Yes, I did try this and it does work, it is not a wish.  I have heard 
that if the info is different on CDDB, it might not work.  Your 
computer should not have to go out to CDDB though, if you ripped that 
CD on your current computer.  It should recognize the CD right away.  I 
don't know how long it holds onto that info or if some kind of system 
update or restore might cause it to get lost.

One person had replied that it did not save play count, but on my 
system it is preserving the play count.

If you are concerned about it, try it with just one song.  Put in a CD 
and highlight one song from the CD and import it.  Then see what it is 
like after that import.  It should put it in all the playlists that it 
was in when it was in MP3 format as well as save all the metadata.  It 
has worked perfectly for me so far on the 5 or 6 CDs I have re-ripped.
