This is kinda a spin-off from this thread. My CD collection is a mess. There is absolutely no organization and CDs are out of their jewel cases, getting lost, etc. The plan is to buy 3 200GB drives and put them in an array. I want to rip my CDs for the absolute last time. I just sucessfully paired EAC with Flac and got a file with tags and all that. Here's what my command line options are:

--tag=ARTIST="%a" --tag=ALBUM="%g" --tag=TITLE="%t" --tag=TRACKNUMBER="%n" --tag=DATE="%y" --tag=DESCRIPTION="flac 1.1.0" %s %d

Does this look good? Here is a pic of EAC compression options:


I would assume that the part about 192kbps means nothing to Flac. So, should I start ripping? Does an applet exist for Windows to Grab Flac files, convert to WAV, then convert to MP3 with LAME? It would be good if it could recurse directories and save the MP3 files in another desination with the same directory structure as the Flac archive and retain ID3 tags. It seems there are plenty bash scripts to do this, but none for windows. Using bash is not a deal breaker, but I usually don't have a linux machine in the house.

PS- I would probably put the 200GB drives in a RAID-5 array since losing all the files would be devistating.
