Doug, All,

I know this question has come up before, but (with 30GB Travelstars down to $150), I'm thinking of embarking on a major classical rip session and am looking for any sage advice. (I'm guessing this kind of stuff is still good for "General", eh?)

One aspect of this is that many classical CDs are semi-thematic compilations -- Sibelius' 3-movement Symphony #2 and separate work Finlandia on one CD, say. In a few test rips of CDs like this, I wound up creating a directory for multi-movement works and I numbered titles if not already numbered to make sure they sort correctly. Separate works like finlandia wind up at the same level as that directory, directly under composer.

I'm also looking at updating my grip rip/encode setup with ID3lib some time soon to allow v3 tag support. I'm interested to know if folks have any bright ideas for inclusion and formatting of performer, conductor, etc. Sages?

Thanks in advance,
