It's not you.  You just have to play around with it.

I used to use cdparanoia and bladeenc, now it's the KAudioCreator.  It even
tags stuff for you.  Storing them is another matter.  I have several drives
on another machine which is mounted to my desktop that runs Amarok.  I mount
them as /mnt/mp3 and /mnt/tunes

/mnt/mp3/artist-album
then each song inside that directory.
01-song1.mp3
02-next_song.mp3
in each directory.  Amarok doesn't care how you store them, it reads the id3
tags and sorts them in the program that way.  I like to keep things neat on
my computer so I create directories for each artist - album.

Which menu bar?
Amarok uses other programs to rip, I can't remember which ones.

Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you want to rip and
encode with Amarok?
