I'd agree with the exact copies scenario you've outlined, but I know that ripping the CDs was actually a longer process than I'd credited at the outset.
Doing it once again, into FLAC, would leave me with a more "high res" copy, and that could hopefully be used as a basis for any further transcoding(s) - as mynb suggested - without needing further rounds of copying, and as you say the cost of storage isn't too high these days. It's not really a 'big deal' for me to be honest, and ultimately i might not go that far. My real aspiration is for a more robust operating platform for LMS and the players, the ability to relatively easily re-rip into FLAC would just be a bonus, and something I think I would do "as and when". re-reading this before posting had me questioning the use of the word 'robust'. I think I mean that I perceive a vortexbox (or similar) that's a dedicated music/SB streamer, to be a better solution than working with my 'jack of all trades' PC.
