I'm from the camp that rips and encodes everything. I figure, if I have all that space, why not use it? Yeah, you've got to press the skip button sometimes when a song you don't like comes on, but I'm so compulsive that if I didn't include that song, part of me would be thrown off when it doesn't play. That's why I have trouble listening in shuffle mode. I'm so ingrained in listening to entire albums.

Anyway, basically I've come to no different conclusion on my question. I'm going to stick by my moral evaluation until government employees knock down my door.

All I can say is, if I could get Deee-Lite's "Groove Is In the Heart" video on DVD, I'd be groovin' all day long.

Astronomical!
