98% of my music is ripped from CDs (that I own), so it's not a big deal for me. But as Apple's success grows, it will become a problem for them that no other devices can play their music. I understand not licensing competing mp3 players, but it's a bit annoying for other products that apple doesn't make (and I presume does not plan to make).

I'm about 90% done with ripping all of my CDs (a project that has taken about three months: I got a 300 gig external hard drive for Christmas), and I've sort of taken to considering the individual CDs to be backups.
How much quality are you losing? Enough so NFH and her brethren would notice or enough so everyone would notice?
