I'm talking about the best quality, bit perfect rips of music, DVDs, blu rays, with all metadata preserved, or the only the best quality downloads off of YouTube as a couple of examples.
I used to care a lot about perfection myself, but I think it started to get a bit unhealthy and cause me genuine anxiety, so I've tried to focus more on preserving content instead of making sure its perfect (for example, I or most others are most likely not going to care that one inaudible bit was incorrectly read in a rip of a CD). There is of course a line between wanting reasonable quality and perfectionism, of course though. Where do you all stand on this spectrum?
