I’ve been keeping two separate libraries of music for awhile now. I rip CDs twice, once to Apple Lossless, and a second time to a lower bitrate mp3 averaging around 140kbps. I stream the lossless in-house, and use the low bitrate copies for syncing to an ipod and remote streaming. For purchased downloads, I keep the original for in-house streaming, and also re-encode it to the lower bitrate.
