I've dreaded this day, but I think it's time to redo my entire iTunes library. Most of my songs that I imported from my CD collection are from over 8 years ago and are only 128-Kbps.
I'm going to re-import my entire CD collection using 256-Kbps AAC encoding and try to get all the album art from iTunes. For the tracks that are not on iTunes, I will try to find at least 500x500 album art photos.
Just to give you an idea of how long this will take, I currently have 14,000 audio tracks in iTunes! I probably only have about 50 songs that were downloaded from Amazon.com, the rest are on CD.
So... has anybody else recently decided to do this? Is anybody avoiding this because it's a long and tedious process?
Edit: After all the suggestions, I've decided to rip all my CDs as Apple Lossless. Hopefully this will be my last time to ever have to do this again.
