It’s funny you say that. I, as most people bought a bunch of CDs back in the day and ripped a bunch before I gave up my CD drive. At the time, storage was expensive and so I did what I could at the time with MP3. As storage gets cheaper (though not cheap enough for me to go lossless), I’d like to be able to upscale my music while keeping a similar file size and have my collection mature with me until storage becomes cheap enough for me to go lossless.
You’re better off buying a cheap USB optical drive, re-ripping those CDs, and transcoding the files to something like Opus, which offers comparable quality to 320kbps MP3 files at lower bitrates (which also means smaller file sizes).
Or you can just “download” the FLAC versions, transcode those, and delete them after.
Also, kind of funny how this was posted just after someone complained about the same thing in the audio engineering subreddit.

I can’t be the only person who’s thought of this.

That is comedy gold! £1000 Ethernet cables? WTF?
wow, so now reddit won’t let you see the post without logging in even if you open it through the old.reddit domain?
This link should work.
I didn’t realize that reddit formats the link completely differently when you “share” from its shitty app.
My bad, and sorry about that. Should work now.
