Great idea !
I managed something with the additional browse modes plugin in 7.9 with
my home made 24 bit genre
I created a Menu called *Hirez* browse by *Album* contributor roles
*ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST* and Genres *24 bit* .
This makes me a menu where i descend into albums
Hi all,
I'm just starting to rip my CD collection to flac and make a digital
archive. I'll use EAC into this.
Then I'll organize the existing mp3's, edit them and add details like
genre into them.
I'm a vinyl person so fairly new to this topics. What would you people
advice me depending on
Get EAC setup properly and it will automatically rip into a decent
folder structure. I.e. artist/album/track.FLAC
MP3tag is one of the best tagging apps I've tried.
While I've also used EAC and MP3tag for this task I'd be tempted to pay
for DBPoweramp if I was doing it again.
The most important thing imho is, that you come up with your own
taxonomy for genres: tag all songs with the genre *you* would file them
under in a record store. Second, for the flacs: create single files for
each song; albums in one file (flac+cue) is--at least for
me--unpractical.

But basically rip with EAC or dBpower amp
Dbpoweramp is well worth the cost for doing serious CD ripping. I also
second the suggestion for mp3tag as a tag editor (note it handles flac,
AAC, MP3, and other file types). Both dbpoweramp and mp3tag have helpful
user forums.

The above advice should give you a fine start on your task of digitizing
your music library.
One thing that I did not see mentioned is that you should make several
copies of the digitized library. Backups are critical as sooner or later
the drive/drives it is on will fail. You are going to

I would strongly recommend dBpoweramp for ripping. You can include album
art as part of the rip which is a great timesaver. Mp3rip is great for
implementing the changes you wish you had thought of when originally
ripping!
I have also found it great to be able to add multiple entries to fields
And...
If you are going to go through the time and effort of ripping your CDs,
go ahead and create lossless tracks (FLAC), not MP3s. Hard disc space is
cheap these days and you can always use something like foobar2000 to
easily convert the FLACs to lossy format as needed for mobile devices.

Oh, and one last tip: If you have low quality mp3s (192 and lower), get
yourself a free account with Google Play Music, upload those files (you
can upload up to 20.000 songs) to it and then download them again.
Google replaces low quality mp3s in most cases with 256 or
EAC will do a very good job, but it may take you a while to learn to use
it optimally. You should make sure you enable, configure and use
AccurateRip in EAC. What I generally do is use burst mode to rip a CD
very quickly, then generate and check the log file to see whether there
