Ripping my CD collection

All my CDs have been re-ripped using the Apple Lossless Encoder. I was comfortable using this iTunes-friendly format because dbPowerAmp has a free converter out of the format if I ever choose to go to a new standard. Full CD-quality sound coming out of my computer speakers. 456 albums, 5243 songs, 146 gigabytes, 16.7 days of continuous listening. And it all fits with room to spare on a two hundred dollar hard drive I can hold in my hand. Staggering.
