I also love album art. Bands like Clutch make interesting artwork that conveys the vibe of the music is interesting ways. It's part of a concept, not just the songs. But I'm lazy and now I let the small number of CDs that I still buy stack up until I have a bunch to rip all at once rather than on the day I get them.

Since I usually buy my CDs at concerts, I usually have 4+ to rip in one go.

I still need to re-rip Fallujah, Dawn of Ouroboros, Persefone, and Vulvodynia CDs; I ripped them as 320KBPS VBR, and the sound is muddy, with all of the bright edges and crispness gone. Everything that I've ripped to 320KBPS CBR is fine, so I assume it's something about a variable bit rate that's trashing the sound. It's unlistenable to me; it's so apparent compared to anything else I listen to that it's completely distracting me from the music itself.

I still haven't re-ripped a box of CDs whose digital versions were lost in a HDD failure almost 20 years ago. 😒
