Have you look at Max?  It rips straight to FLAC and it's made by the
same people as Tag.  I haven't used it a lot myself but it might
simplify at least the first three steps on your list.

Just a comment about your naming structure.  You said the album
directory was named "Album - Year".  I prefer to reverse that so the
Albums are automatically sorted by year when browsing through the
directories.
