The best CD Ripper for Windows is probably dbPoweramp Reference Edition. This costs £30 or so but well worth it for its tagging ability.So a question, going through my 1000+ discs, I want to transfer to NAS. What do you use to record to media? I could go .wav or .flac. thanks all.
And in terms of folder structure, use album-artist/album. I’d also add Artist to the file name, so disc-track-title-artist.FLAC to cater for compilations.The best CD Ripper for Windows is probably dbPoweramp Reference Edition. This costs £30 or so but well worth it for its tagging ability.
Tips
Go FLAC at level 5 and before you start properly investigate Replay Gain. Unless you are absolutely sure you will never need it add it to dbPoweramp’s settings.
Configure it to write files in disc-track-title .FLAC format with disc and track in 2 digit format eg 01,02 etc
Also ensure you configure it to add folder.jpg to each album folder
You can configure it to rip directly to your NAS folder.
I’m not sure Artist is strictly necessary if you set the compilation tag but TBH my knowledge of how upnp servers might deal with such a situation is limited (obviously) as LMS definitely doesn’t need Artist in the file name for compilations. In fact it doesn’t even need the compilation tag.And in terms of folder structure, use album-artist/album.

I use it simply from the point of view of the file name in Windows explorer showing the track artist when the album-artist is “various artists”, not necessarily from the POV of whichever server software I’m using.I’m not sure Artist is strictly necessary if you set the compilation tag but TBH my knowledge of how upnp servers might deal with such a situation is limited (obviously) as LMS definitely doesn’t need Artist in the file name for compilations.

Ok I can see that. Could result in a very long file name though.I use it simply from the point of view of the file name in Windows explorer showing the track artist when the album-artist is “various artists”, not necessarily from the POV of whichever server software I’m using.
