We've all been there - I had absolutely no idea when I started trying to work out how to name music files, add tags, etc. What you need to do is: - Install flac (http://flac.sf.net) - Install EAC (http://exactaudiocopy.de) - Configure EAC to rip to flac Assuming you're ripping "popular" music (i.e. not classical), I'd use a simple directory structure like: d:\path\to\libary\<artist>\<album> Have fun!
