I think you would be quite happy with their encoded and metadata. I can track everything in my library back to the individual CD if came from.

I know what you’re talking about. I’ve had FLACs come to me that had the CD designation (not UPC). At least, I think that’s what you mean. So if I knew what that meant (or had a site that could tell me), I could also track that thing… but I took that data out. Sorry, not my thing. You might be thinking “damn you heathen” (hopefully not seriously maliciously though!) but I just don’t care. Some people care about quality and some people care about some specific thing. Take Guns n’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion (I or II, doesn’t matter.) Some people will tell you the original CD is best. Some will say the recent (2024?) remaster is best. Some will say they have both and they consider the former to be a 1990/1991 (whenever it was) release and the latter to be a 2024 (or whenever) release. I’ll just grab the remaster, change the date to the original album release, and call it a day. Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I dig it. That’s not at all to say I couldn’t learn to do it the “right” way. I originally typed with just my left hand, with my right operating Shift and Enter. I did about 50WPM that way, believe it or not. They made me learn the “right” way in school. I respect the “right” way of doing things, especially when it’s based on good data. I just don’t always follow it myself.
