I have a bunch of FLACs (aobut 700 CDs) that I ripped via EAC back in 2008.
I thought I lost it all in a hard drive crash (thank you, Maxtor Shared Storage) but a switch to Mac and the addition of a NAS allowed me to recover a mirror stored in an EXT3 formatted USB drive and compressed via .tar.gz.
I really do not want to re-rip (as I need to rip a couple hundred CDs I've added since 2008) but I'd consider doing so if there is significant SQ improvement.
I know, I know, I should just try it myself. But I'm lazy. So in case someone else has done it, I'd love to hear your experiences.
Thanks in advance!
