I agree with you entirely. The problem is time and money, both of which aren't plentiful. Every file requires consideration individually to preserve it. As per most humans, I didn't bother to make a tradeoff when I picked tools for the job therefore incurring this cost later (now). Some good suggestions there, particularly with respect to mp3s. Thanks for these. Already use Lightroom though which is a royal pain to shift to another platform as the metadata isn't portable to other software easily.
