I have found that I have rippped and re-ripped my cd's several times over the last few years I have been using my Transporter as my server. The primary reason may be that I'm nuts, but I have experienced different results ripping to various bit rates etc. My advice is keep the CD's. Also, its easier to rip the CD than convert the ripped file if you want to rip to a different format etc.
