The tags are populated from the directory structure of the library. I rip each CD to individual .wav files named with the track number and song title only. The library structure looks like this: D:\MUSIC\genre\artist\year - disc title\track no. - song title When the ripped CDs are placed into their appropriately named locations (this can be automated in EAC), you run flac and have it populate the tags based on the directory structure. You can rip 100 CDs, then, before you go to bed, start flac and run it on all the ripped files. It will tag them properly and add replay gain as it completes each CD. In the morning you'll have a working library with everything neatly tagged and placed in directories that make it easy for you to find your stuff. Simple and it works. I did it for my 600+ CD collection. Of course, you may want to edit some of the tags, especially for classical or multiple artist type discs, but those are a problem with ANY tagging/storage system.
