It is when you house a collection of over 3500 albums! ;)

The only comment I have about format wars at this stage in this area,
other than the fact that the newer methods are better is that they are
not backward compatible. Therefore it renders the rip unusable to my
SliMP3s, Traxdata M-Station and as many other devices so I won't be
changing in hurry! Apart from that ripping the collection once was
enough thanks! ;)
