Just starting to rip mostly classical cd collection to flac and would like to have separate albums for each work on a disk. I can only see how to edit the "Title","Artist" and "Composer" fields at track level prior to rip. How can I also edit other fields such as "Album" at this level ?

It is not possible to do this before ripping, only post ripping. -
Re: How do I edit album tag for individual tracks before rip ?
sorry for butting in but I have an approach I like for classical works. it is pretty straightforward.; btw I use mp3tag to handle the post rip tagging.
So here goes
create 2 new tags called Work and WorkSort
Add them to the menu of Asset, I put it as a child of album under composer
After ripping, I go to MP3 tag and for each disk, pull the name of the work from the title and paste that for all tracks for a given work; pad with 0 when needed for the worksort field.
If a disk is a set, say all of Beethoven Piano sonatas, i rip them to as one disk, using tracknumber offset and then apply the works as they are.
So once I have chosen a 'disk' (could be a single or multi disk set), I choose the work subfolder and there are works defined that each include all of the tracks for a given work.
Think that works better than splitting disks for each work. does require a little effort during tagging but it works great.
Looking forward to the then ASSET version as I think it will allow the splitting of libraries so pop and classical don't mingle. It works great, use it with Linn systemComment
