The question isn’t exactly specific, but let me elaborate.

I tend to enjoy ripping CDs into lossless and sharing those that you cannot buy in digital lossless here, such as the majority of Halo music (Thread 193811) & the Guild Wars 2 Original Game Soundtrack (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?t=190907&highlight=). But I’ve lately begun to discover providers such as Qobuz & Loudr provide a small number of my uploaded CD rips such as post-Bungie entries in my Halo collection & Dark Void’s Soundtrack in digital lossless and considering taking them down as although I do wish not to discourage support for the artists, it’s not a practical use of online storage if you’re providing for an already catered demand.

But before I do so entirely, I just need to ask what is probably a silly question, but it’s just nice to have another voice tell you you’re right in think so.

Would the CD rip logs remain useful to burning digital lossless music onto a disc? Or would you still require the original music from the rip to perform that successfully?
Maybe that’s a bit of an outdated pursuit, but I’m not exactly convinced providing WAV copies of music already available in that format with better tagging is enough of a benefit to keep ’em up for download, and we haven’t obsoleted physical music yet (At least until providers finally provide 16bit lossless download options unanimously).

Any information brought forward would be greatly appreciated.

One would still require the original "rip", because the log you are providing has been created while you were ripping the CD, and it states how that ripping process has went.

Also, don’t entirely trust Qobuz as a lossless-store, some of the albums they’re selling on there are actually lossy-files transcoded into lossless, even in worse quality than the original lossy encode sold on the likes of, say, iTunes.

I thought as much. Nice to have confirmation nonetheless.

Is that so?? Now that’s a pity. I was rather fond of the download service they offered (Even if Bandcamp remains a favourite place to get my music)

Thanks for informing me of that. That probably helped make my mind up more than anything else!
