It depends on the tool you used to rip it. If you used iTunes, then it might not be a bad idea to re-rip your CDs.
If you used a secure ripping tool, just convert the files.

I did use iTunes to rip to Apple Lossless. However, I do not understand what you mean by "secure ripping tool" -- would you please explain?

XLD? Max?

This will kinda explain secure ripping: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Secure_ripping

XLD is recommended for flawless FLAC/ALAC ripping on Mac... until MC for Mac supports ripping someday. :)

That's still in beta, I'd still use XLD.

Thanks for the guidance.

I have had good results with XLD for conversions, hadn't realized it had the secure ripping capability. Works well.

dbpoweramp shows some promise, but the Mac version is very much a beta. Had a lot of issues using it...
