You can specify a location with EAC. I arrange my files by artist then album. So I create an artist folder, then individual album folders inside the artist folder. I always rip my discs using the test & copy modein EAC. EAC will give you a proper rip that will match in the accurip database. Most other programs don't rip bit perfect.
Hard drive file management?
Hi, all
I have started ripping my CDs to a dedicated hard drive using EAC and the FLAC format. Things are going fine. However, a friend who ripped his CD collection a year or so ago into WAV files using the Windows Media Player tells me that his files ended up in individual album folders. When I open my music directory, there is one long list of files. I can see that if I rip a lot of CDs, It could get difficult to locate individual albums or songs if I wished to manipulate the files. I can't find any means of organizing files in the EAC program. Is there something that I'm missing? I am not having any problems with playback using a Logitech Touch--it seems to be able to differentiate the albums and artwork, so there is no issue with day-to-day useage, but if I wanted to copy or transfer single songs or albums finding them could be confusing.
This is all pretty new to me, and I appreciate any help or knowledge about this.
