RE: Integrity?

When I get a new CD, I rip it. It takes a minute to open the jewel case and put it in the slot, 30 seconds to start the application program (dBpoweramp) running. By the time I come back from making coffee, reading emails, or whatever, the rip is done. If the secure rip is not accurate, then I trash it. (This happens rarely.) The files are ripped to FLAC. If they are subsequently corrupted by the computer they will fail to play, due to a checksum error. I then file them in a folder according to my filing system: music, genre, composer (for Classical), performer, album. This is equivalent to figuring out where to put a physical disk on a bookshelf.

No further effort is involved in the process with regard to data integrity. It amounts to a minute or two extra work the first time I play a disk. Everything else associated with data backups is automated and managed by exception.
