Why Should I Slave Over CD Tags?

When you tag a CD, the data is stored in the iTunes Music Library database, so that when you put the CD back in the drive, it will remember exactly how you tagged it in the first place.
If you perfect your CD tags before ripping, instead of correcting the music files after, you won't have to do it again if you need to re-rip a CD. This happens--Hard-drive failure, the decision to rip at a higher or lower bit rate, etc.
If you have correctly tagged the CD, upon re-ripping, you will notice an additional benefit. Because the song name and album name, etc. match existing files, you will be asked if you want to replace the files in the library. If you say "Yes", the songs will be ripped, the tags, including artwork, from the old files will be attached, and you'll have a mess-free update of existing songs.
