I ripped a cd following a guide i found online for EAC, it ripped it really good, so then i realized that the file names were still track01-01 .. and so on, so i ripped it again, but first, i entered in all the information about the Cd (Name, artist, year, and changed the titiles of the songs ect) then when I went to rip it, an error box showed up after every song rip that said it had an error.. the CD rip report showed every song ripped perfectly with no errors, but i went into the folder where it ripped, and the songs weren't in a folder of their own, and they were still in WAV format and not the compression I told it to do.
(I know i could just convert them myself, and make the folders, but i don't want the trouble of doing that every time)

have you accidently enabled the "Check for external programs return code" in the compression options on the external compression tab?

It's a problem with the genre, "Technical Death Metal".

Let EAC handle the tagging instead of doing it via command line and the problem will go away.

With the same problem popping up time and again, you'd think someone would change the wiki.

thanks for the help, so the "Check for external programs return code" thing should be turned off? and i'll try letting EAC do the tagging for that part. What about the Name of the CD, should i get rid of that too??

Add. . . .

--ignore-tag-errors

. . . to your additional command line options.

Or select a more conventional genre from EAC's pulldown menu.

The CD's name is not a problem.

Oh sure. Let's all scapegoat metal for life's woes. It's only because it has "death" attatched to it that it has a negative connotation. I'm sure if we called it "Pixie Metal," everyone would love it.
