Forgive me if this topic has been covered, here's the issue:
Have a MB with 160GB that is almost full even when ripping music with ACC to save space. Now I bought a new Iomega portable external 500GB with Firewire with the idea that I re rip my existing collection as AIFF using the external as extra storage, not necessarily as a backup device, at first.
If I change my import settings and highlight the tracks I want to convert, will that be an OK solution to getting the files through AIFF, or do I need to delete the old ACC files and re rip the CDs? Does re ripping those files that I originally ripped with ACC loose integrity if I convert the existing files, or do I need to go back to the CDs and re rip?
I have already changed the iTunes settings so that the library goes to the HD and not my iTunes library on the laptop. This appears to be using the drive for the purpose intended. What is the easy way to send the whole iTunes library to the HD and delete the original low quality files?
Are there any other bases I need to cover?
I love you guys and this website and forum! I wish I could swing a career in this field so I wouldn't ever have to stop tinkering/learning...
