You might not now, but After ripping all my CD's I put them away and now I prefer to not buy CD's rather buy the electronic format, so you may want to think about the future. Put a new radio in m wife's car with a CD player but then saw it had a USB port on it so we just copied a bunch of music on a cheap flash drive and plugged it in and it plays. I bought myself a new phone and then went and bought its car dock and started using it that way and play music through it rather than CD's. Sooner or later your going to want to buy more music, I bet you could find a place that sells the files lossless.
