There's no way I would want to go back and re-rip them. Too much effort for too little benefit. I might consider buying them again before I did that.
FWIW the handful of CDs I've bought in the last few years I have ripped to FLAC (as well as mp3).
(*not completely, it would still read DVDs, but after ripping > 200 CDs it no longer read CDs)

I remember when I did all my CDs. I rearranged my kitchen in <5 minute intervals. The CDs and the kitchen took about the same length of time. It amazed me how much one can accomplish in a minute or two.
