My advice after ripping my CD collection is to rip to FLAC from the
outset. I started ripping to MP3 and am going back and re-ripping when I
have time. If tagging is your passion then you will probably find that
having done the job once you will end up tweaking later on as your
tastes/preferences change. I never thought I was a pedant until I got
into tagging! :D The sad thing, of course, is that only I appreciate it
- the rest of the family couldn't really care! What sort of music are
you ripping - classical or other? Classical brings its own
complications. You need to decide how you want the music to look in the
library and then work out how you can achieve this via tags. Automated
tagging is great but there are limitations - the tagging may be
incorrect or not as you want it. Use ripping software such as dBpoweramp
and learn how to use MP3tag (this works with other formats including
FLAC). You can cut and paste album information from the internet (the
record companies have a wealth of information) into a text file and when
you ae happy with this then you can upload the file into MP3tag. Use
Google to search for album art (if you use Chrome then you have the
ability to search for different sizes). Failing that, scan your CD
covers, resize them to your desired size and add these to your tags.
Check the Ripping and Tagging forum for further help and advice.

Have fun!
