Really? That's the exact opposite advise that I've read elsewhere. The reasoning they gave me is that .tif files can be converted to .jpeg, but not the other way around.

You see, here's my plan: I'm moving next year, and just the thought of moving my huge CD collection makes me tired. So in order to raise some extra cash and condense my collection, I'm going to sell the whole collection and keep CD-R copies for myself. The CD-R copies are done, but I'm concerned about not having the playlists from the CD jackets. It's not a problem right now, but in the future I may want to print them up. So, my dilemma is that I want to keep my future options open by having all my CD jackets saved in the best-quality file format that I can afford to use. I want to have the widest available choices if I ever decide to print them up, so when I read on another board that .tif files were the most flexible picture format, I figured that was the way to go. .tif files are a bit big, but they seemed to have the best reproductabiltiy options.

Can you explain your reasoning for suggesting .jpeg's instead?
