Haha nice, where'd you get most of it? I've been going since around 98 but had a few years off when I first moved here & didn't have my PC.
IRC used to be a gold mine, tons of channels on a bunch of servers, loads of xdcc & fserves plus a bunch of FTP sites, had it so good.
I finally have a CD tower that holds up to 2000 CD's or combination of CD/DVD and new jewel cases just came. I plan on ripping every single one of my
CD's as I put them into cases & stock them.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I recently re ripped all my CD's in MP3 HQ/VBR using EAC/ LAME 3.97. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing  The physical size of my collection probably got smaller after I did the re-rip cause the newer LAME versions handle
VBR compression much better then before.
Don't even get me started on movies

I rip mine now with the V0 extreme VBR LAME preset, good quality rips. I've got so many 128 I will update first then move to the 192 rips.

This is why I'm slowly updating I've downloaded a lot of replacements and I'm
ripping the rest as I go through my CD's one by one. Ive gone through and put the bitrate of each album in the folder name to keep track of what I
need replaced.

This is my command line option for LAME 3.97:
-V 0 --vbr-new
Sounds perfect with an ~256k bit rate and a perfect quality/size ratio

Yeah thats what I rip with now, filled many torrent requests by ripping with V0 preset.
No plans on getting into FLAC any time soon. Oversized, don't care about my music that much when I have high quality mp3, and Ipod 80GB currently
don't support FLAC either.

Yeah I messed around with FLAC a couple years ago but didn't see any advantage over VBR MP3.

^^^^^^^^ I'm thinking of doing this too.

Do it. External HD prices have taken a big dive recently. The drive I bought 6 months ago is now practically half the price I fuckin paid for it. I
may just sell my current one to upgrade since I'm slowly running out of room. Once I rip the other stuff I want to from my collection I'll definitely
be out of room.
