Scoring More FLAC 25Jun20

A friend who'd flipped back to LPs sold me ~400 CDs. I just finished ripping them to FLAC and our tastes (as our age) overlap closely - a preponderance of lady voices. This did precipitate a cleansing of my database of tunes however - the duplicates where I owned "only" mp3 (a dark moment in my music acquisition past) and I bought a CD variant from them (see how I did that?) prompted me to eliminate the mp3 file in favor of flac. I scripted finding the duplicates (at least in Album+Artist+Track+Time) and deleted all the MP3 files in favor of FLAC files as shown below with Natalie Merchant. Woohoo. Now I have 900 CDs of which I have no intention using, or losing - as I need the right to play, even though I don't play the CD. Recent acquisition tech is more aware - I buy 24bit wide with 96KHz sampling when I can)... CDs just deliver 16bit/44.1KHz, which is cool for sure.
