    How do I edit meta data?

    I just ripped a cd using the FLAC codec but the meta data isn't right. The track titles are messed up. song1, song1, song2, song2, song3, song3...... so I need to manually enter I guess. How would I do that?

    Right click on a track >> Edit ID-Tag

    You can select the whole album and do the same (as they have the same artist and album name).

      As far as I see, right clicking on the track name can only be done AFTER you rip the track. Since the rip process includes writing the ripped file to my hard drive, the file name has already been set. So when I right click and choose "edit ID-tag", I'm in Windows Explorer, which lets me change the info but that has no effect on Explorer which still shows the name it set when the rip was executed. This would mean the only thing that would effectively change the name I see and care about for generating playlists, etc. is the one that Explorer shows for the particular track and to change that, I basically have to go through each one AGAIN and change the file name from Explorer. Surely I must be missing something?????? What I think I'm looking for is a way to edit the meta data BEFORE the rip so that the right track info ends up on the hard drive.

        Select the track in CD Ripper and press F2 to edit.
