If it offends you that there are unripped CDs around,
as a contrarian, it makes me happy to learn that.

I'll bet you say that lossy files are as good as the
original CDs because it's trendy to say so.

So to add insult to injury to the trendy, when I do rip
CDs or vinyl I do so as lossless and consider possessing
both CD and a lossless rip as a wondrous redundancy.

This also makes an anti-apple/anti-amazon statement,
those wretched little transnationals too backwards to
offer lossless.
