its funny, b/c just deciding what to rip, or not, is itself a rather
subjective decision, and kinda defeats the idea that one can have a
perfect system with clear black and white rules you can apply to
everything. i have basically just resigned myself to following "what do
i feel like keeping
It's hard to see a good reason not to just rip all the separate units
separately. As noted, sometimes best-ofs or other compilations have
tracks that aren't identical to the originals, usually for worse but
sometimes for better. Best to keep them separate. The total amount of
additional storage
I rip all my CDs and keep them all (digitally and the actual CDs). A
compilation album is an album that I want to be complete even if it
contains tracks on other CDs. This could be because the CD is a movie
soundtrack, a best of, etc. Then again, I'm the type of person that

I would do (3). Storage (in my case) is cheap, and having a different
organisation mechanism (playlists) for compilations adds complexity.

it depends...
in general i hate dupes... but only EXACT dupes. and even then if its
a dupe on e.g. a soundtrack, i hate to remove it from the soundtrack
just b/c i have it elsewhere.
i came across a few ABBA comps, and i ripped them in full. i'm not a
big ABBA fan tho so i went thru and
PS I also have rips from vinyl where I also have tips from CD. In that

I'm one of those OCD people that when I like an artist I normally buy
all their albums including "Best of" or "Hits" etc and I also have a lot
of compilation albums that include songs from these albums (although
