Yes to both questions, as I outlined in an earlier message, you need to use various variables to tell EAC how you want the file named, you can put the songs in order of how they are played on the original CD in several different ways, the first is to use the track number variable %n before the track artist or track title, the standard format for a file name of a track however doesn't usually include a track number, its just the artist followed by a dash and then the track title, and you would set the variables in EAC'S track naming edit box accordingly, "%a - %t",. Now if you just use title and artist then you'll need to get EAC to generate a playlist, when you open the playlist with Winamp, VLC etc then the files will be played in the order they appeared on the original CD. Getting back to placement of files in directories with eac, use a line something similar to this in the Track Name edit box to give EAC an idea of where you want files placed, "%a\%c\%a - %t" would tell EAC to create a directory corresponding to the name of the artist, create a sub-directory under that corresponding to the name of the CD and name the track with the artist followed by a - and then the title. To tell EAC where your master directory is on your drive (that is to say where you want all your music stored) then go to the "Directory" tab of EAC and set it up there, you can also have EAC to prompt you where you want each CD stored if you prefer that, I found the latter approach very handy actually when ripping books.

Also, is it possible to have the tracks ripped and displayed in the order as they appear on the CD? Thanks.
