    Rip wont make artist or album folders

    I am trying to rip my CD collection to 2 folders on my separate internal hard drive. One folder in FLAC and the other folder in mp3 320 in one pass. Everything is working perfectly except the mp3 folder is not making an artist folder for each new disc inserted. Its mixing all the tracks in the folder itself. The FLAC folder is making an artist folder but will combine all tracks in the same artist folder from multiple same artist CDs. Its not making separate album folders.

    My goal is rip to each of these folders and automatically and have it make an artist folder and have it make separate album folders within.

    Am I supposed to make each folder or will the program do this? Is this a Windows 7 problem? Or am I not setting the Windows 7 folder up properly? (I will need help with that)

    I am using =
    The most current dbpoweramp (21 day trial)
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Sony optiarc drives (year old)

    So far I love this program and plan to buy it if it will help me with my goal. Sorry if I lost any of you, and not clear with my request (not good at this stuff). I cant wait to get this project started and finished. I have been planning this for a few years now and was thrilled to find this program.

    Thanks in advance

    Next to the naming, click 'Set' then click the 'Default' button, this will default to artist\album folders. Copy the naming string for your mp3 naming (on the multi encoder).

      Thanks for responding Spoon.
      I did try to do naming set default but everything stayed the same way. Still dumping tracks in the main folder without creating a separate artist/album folder.

      I was looking in the multi encoder settings and saw the output settings.
      * Original folder (is this what I should be using, where does it go?)
      * Folder S:\MEDIA\Music\ Library - mp3 320\ (this is what I am trying to use)
      * Dynamic

      Also you said "Copy the naming string for your mp3 naming (on the multi encoder)."
      Lost me there. Where is the naming string and where would I paste it to?
      Sorry for being totally clueless on this. I know it's just a click of the mouse somewhere to fix this.
      Thanks again

        Select Dynamic and copy this there:

        [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[track] [artist] - [title]
