This is very close to what I do, except that for multi-disc sets, I place the individual disc folders below the album folder. /Flac/Artist/Album/Disc 1 /Flac/Artist/Album/Disc 2 > artwork within each file is reduced to a 300x300 size for consistency Same here. Larger might be better, but it's often hard to find larger artwork. I much prefer to download artwork rather than having to scan it myself. I also place a 1 pixel black border around the artwork, which I think looks better, so the process is usually to crop and resize to 298x298, then add the border. > I use Orange CD suite to organise and keep track of the solution until I > can find a better one which I can host on my server as a HTTP/PHP > database What do you need to keep track of?

Also, I use Burnnn with the non-compliant CUE sheets that I generate in EAC and it expects the audio files to be in the same folder. So I store the following all in an album folder: - Flac files - EAC generated non-compliant CUE sheet - EAC ripping log - cover.jpg - any other artwork files If you do this, just go to SqueezeCenter Settings > Advanced > File Types and add the 'cue' extension to Disabled Audio File Extensions. I add it to both 'disabled' fields just to be sure. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58891 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
