Hello Nightfox!

Well.. generally, I would "save" a copy long enough until I get  
a chance to check it out if someone wanted the original  
CD+case. Spotify seems to get most used now anyway.

In the past, I used to copy LPs to cassette and just play the  
cassette version with a select mix most of the time.  However..  
I haven't gotten rid of any of my 1100 LPs yet.

Another reason I use the AppleLossless is because that format  
accomodates tags, automatically, with info gleened from CDDB,  
and the result is automatically in database format in iTunes.    
One step; done.
