EAC folder help please!

Hi all,

I have another quick question, I hope!

I installed EAC and Lame onto my laptop. The plan is to spend my 10-hour night shifts archiving. Hopefully it will make the time go fast LOL!

EAC is just dumping the wav's and mp3's into my parent directory (E:\EAC Rips\), dedicated data storage drive. It's not creating the [Artist > Album] sub-folders like it does on my desktop. Anything quick I can check?

show us a screenshot of you EAC options > filename screen.

you could use

%albumartist%\%albumtitle%\%tracknr2%. %title%

and tick Use various artist naming scheme and use this

%albumartist%\%albumtitle%\%tracknr2%. %artist% - %title%

Also don't use wav use lossless (FLAC, ALAC, WavPack).

Don't forget to change it for the VA naming scheme as well.

That worked, thanks!

But, the CUE sheet still gets saved in the parent directory. Do I need to create a CUE sheet?

Are you ripping to single file or as tracks?

If you are ripping as single file then you'll need the cue sheet.

No, separate wav's for each track. Thanks!

say no to wav's, use FLAC, ALAC or Wavpack. there is no real reason to use wave files anymore.

If you are ripping as single file then you'll need the cue sheet.

Cue sheets contain HTOA information in the event that you want to check your rip with CUETools at a later date.

Cue sheets are the only place where EAC keeps a record of pre-emphasis.

Cue sheets are helpful in creating a more exact copy in the event that you want to burn a duplicate.
