I have ripped all of my music to FLAC which is lossless. (equivalent to Apple Lossless but open source and supports correct meta data specifications) Then from there I can transcode from Lossless to any format I want. As standards change, its much easier to go from the lossless to a lesser format and not have to do the CD thing all over again. It doesn't take up as much space as you might think.

That said, you really should invest in backing up your music. You can burn your iTunes library to audio CD if you want, but I would burn it to data DVDs. I haven’t done this in a while but I know iTunes used to support that function from within the software. If not, you could do it manually or use commercial disc copying software.

Excellent, informative post. Hmmmm, I’ve been using the mp3 but you have convinced me I should switch to the ACC from now on.

I have ran into cases where I forgot to back up some songs I've purchased, and when I reformatted my machine I lost those songs. The one thing I do not like about the iTunes Store is you do not have the ability to re-download songs that you already had purchased...unless someone knows a trick I don't. Hi Kat,

I have a lot of music on my touch, some of it I have purchased from iTunes, but a large portion of it are my cd's that I have imported to my iTunes. I like the transportability that my touch affords me, but I have not burned any of the music I have purchased to cd's. Should I be? Thanks for this post, who knew that I needed to think about this!!
