Hi metal You'll find lots of different approaches. This is mine:
Files are ripped to a specific folder called FLAC RIP using EAC. Then I add replay gain with Foobar and run them through mp3tag to make sure the tags are right. Regarding which tags, well I just use the standard artist, album etc Keep it simple. Ive always found genre challenging and my attempts to rationalise into ten or twelve genre types have proven too complex to bother with. Tagging gets more complex with Classical stuff, but Im guessing from your username thats less of a concern for you ;) I dont use m3u. Next I use FLAC2Mp3 (excellent little programme) to convert them to MP3 for the ipod. The Mp3s are sent by the converter to a lower quality music folder. Then I paste the FLAC files into a folder Best Quality Music, which is where SqueezeCentre picks them up. The hierarchy is simple, basically Artist then Album. I never bothered with the A-C type approach personally. I maintain a simple log of additions, tag changes etc.. in notepad, and backup new additions every couple of weeks or so to an external HDD, which I then hide under the bed in the spare room! It all sounds a bit convoluted when I write it down, but its pretty straight forward in practice. Hope some of it helps.
