Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
Hi Dan, In my experience with EAC, I don't think you can get it to automatically put them in to a artist's directory. Also if you want to see the files in the order they are on the disc, I think if you open the directory first then go back to EAC and save them they will be in the directory in the order which EAC saves them. The next time you open that directory they may or may not be in that order unless you set the parameters of how you want them by going in to the directory and setting the details to how you want them to be displayed. Hope this makes sense. Bill On Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:50:23 -0400, Dan Kerstetter wrote: How can I set up Exact Audio Copy to automatically put files into a directory named for the artist?

Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
Ok, well you can have Exact Audio Copy put and sort your files into directories by using various variables such as %a for artist, %t for title, %c for CD title etc, I fthink a full list of all the available variables appear on the screen in the filenames tab. If you have any further questions then you may wish to email me privately as I use EAC all the time or nearly all the time, haven't used it for a while but now I have Windows running as a virtual machine on my Mac its time to use the best ripper in the world again smile. There is also a reasonably new version too which can e obtained from http://www.exactaudiocopy.de On 22/09/2007, at 2:23 AM, Bill Scherer wrote: Hi Dan, In my experience with EAC, I don't think you can get it to automatically put them in to a artist's directory.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
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.
