Yes, there's a tiny, tiny chance that you'll hit a case where the
checksum doesn't help.  Buy it's something, as opposed to lossy formats
which, as far as I know, have nothing.

And I agree about the ripping...it took me a year and a half!  I have
onsite and offsite backups and now that I know how to automate the
integrity checks, I just need to figure out how often I want to schedule
them.  I tested with a 40,724 track subset and it still took around 36
hours.
