Hi Everyone, I'm about to embark on a project to rip my CDs to FLAC files for use with a Squeezebox as the source for my mostly Naim system. I plan on using Exact Audio Copy and my system is Windows based (2000 Pro for now, will be getting XP Pro later this year). I'm looking for advice on how to set up the folders and files on the HD. I want to be able to do the obvious things once it's all ripped like group by artist, genre, etc. Are the files on the HD relevant in any way to aiding this or does all the searching/grouping/filtering/sorting capability come from the database that EAC sets up? Is that database a standard format that most audio programs read? Also, I don't want to lock myself into the Squeezebox platform in case a better solution comes along in the future. I'd like the searching/grouping/filtering/sorting capability with any platform as well. So any hints with that in mind would also be greatly appreciated. -Peter PS - You guys are all killing me with the thread on the world's best speakers, what a hoot.
