For tracks I bought off iTunes years ago rather than having CDs, I just moved the relevant iTunes folders/tracks into my new folder structure on my NAS (which is mostly FLAC rips of CDs) using the same naming convention, then just pointed Plex at it. Works fine.
I also have a copy of Minimserver running looking at the same folders to feed the control point I use when doing serious listening on my main hifi (Linn Majik DSM using Kazoo as a control point)

I'm ripping cd's currently, making two copies: a 320kbps m4a and a FLAC.
I've recovered my old itunes library, which has 200gb of mp3's mostly 192 and 224kbps, but some 96s in there as well. It also contains loads of albums which I don't have hard copies of. And was going to use that as the basis for my plex audio collection (i generally listen to playlists, rather than albums, legacy of making mixtapes back in the day)
My question do I just rip the albums I currently don't have in my music library,
Or do I attempt to rip everything and don't worry if I duplicate albums, since I'll have the flexibility of the two file formats...
