Everyone should listen to this thread. Notice what is kicking this off? How about we make a rule that everyone use lossless from now on to avoid these painful resulting issues.

I constantly do some of the steps mentioned in this thread when I replace lossless files with lossy files. ;)
Usually I have my latest ripped CDs in the library in a lossless format for some time while I finalize tagging and scan the complete art sets including the back covers, booklets, etc. Eventually I convert most of them to a high quality lossy format. Since I have the fully tagged lossless files in the archive I can always re-encode new versions with different codecs or settings or start using the lossless files.

BTW, did you remember to select the secure ripping mode? Here's an old thread where its importance was discussed:

Still a long way to go but the workflow described earlier does work.
