Great advice. Every so often, on one of my backup USB drives I'll run TEST CONVERSION (dbpoweramp). It takes a number of hours for about 116,000 files. This attempts to decode each file to confirm it is still ok. And for the FLAC files, it compares the builtin CRC (audio only) from the time of ripping to the calculated audio only CRC. An even better confirmation.
