Help with "Output to" in CD ripper

[witty4m_name]

Hi, first post here on this very helpful forum. I'm using CD ripper reference and have a quick question regarding how my .flac files are names/stored.

Here is an example of one of my ripped .flac files:

D:\Music\JRiver\Music\Chris Thile\Not All Who Wander Are Lost\02 Chris Thile - Wolfcreek Pass.flac

You see, I have 'Music' in the file name twice which is redundant. How do I get it to output the files straight into the 'JRiver' subfolder and then sorted into artist and album?

Then, if I change this, will it mess up things with all the other albums that I have already ripped and saved like the one above?

Thanks!

Existing albums are not changed.

What do you have set in the Path and Naming Boxes?

What do you have set in the Path and Naming Boxes?

I have this in the "Output to" box: Music\JRiver\Source path\Source filename

I have this in the "Output to" box: Music\JRiver\Source path\Source filename

Are you using [Multi Encoder] then, if you are using the "Output to" box?

Yes, I'm using the multi encoder. I only want this file naming changed for the .flac encoding going to JRiver folder.

Hey witty4m_name,

first off: you have to specify a output path for each and every encoder in its settings.

This output "D:\Music\JRiver\Music\Chris Thile\Not All Who Wander Are Lost\02 Chris Thile - Wolfcreek Pass.flac" is no surprise for your naming string "Music\JRiver\Source path\Source filename".

"Music\JRiver" -> "Music\JRiver"
"Source path" = "Music\Chris Thile\Not All Who Wander Are Lost"
"Source filename" = "02 Chris Thile - Wolfcreek Pass"

So you see that naming string will not produce what you want.

You have to use a naming string like

Base location = "D:\Music\JRiver"
Dynamic naming = "[album artist]\[album]\[track] - [title]"

Ok, thanks Dat Ei, I will give that a try and see if it outputs the files where I want.

Worked perfectly with the new string you provided. Thanks again!
