My plan is to use iTunes --> WAV. iTunes gets all tag info but nothing
goes into the WAV files. However, the folder structure will contain
this (except for year?), and then I can use a custom tag specifier like

If this is a slimserver dedicated PC, then I would definitely
recommend SlimCD instead of W2K.
Works much better with low specs. W2K is a dog with 128 MB of RAM.

This sounds reasonable to me, but I don't think your FLAC files will
contain any metadata after this procedure. Slimserver may still
correctly infer artist, album, track numbe
You can also use a distributed version of this approach:

If you are interested in using EAC which is generally considered to be
the best ripper out there (but also one of the more complicated to get
setup). Check out this guide on how to get it all setup:

Another nice ripper is Easy CDDA from poikosoft.com
It supports many formats incl. FLAC
It also has a conversion capability to convert your archive from FLAC
(or any other other supported format) into whatever is supported. You
can also directly burn CD's from FLAC (or any of the suppored
formats)

Thanks for the information. Let's forget about Apple lossless. My number
one option is to use FLAC, but I don't know how I would do that. There
must be a number of FLAC wrappers (?). I'm not planning to write my own
