I found that I am apparently not smart enough to use EAC so I am trying dBpoweramp (and mp3tag for fixes). You guys who are ripping 5 digits worth of CDs are making me feel better about having A"only" 4 digits worth. The input I am getting in this forum is very helpful to help my avoid an further missteps (the first big one being to spend a lot of time ripping with Windows Media Player, which produced less than ideal results).
