The latter is probably more appropriate, especially when there are different artists on an album, of course (Various Artists albums, for example). Keep in mind there's an "artist" and also an "album artist" tag.
Quote from: Brand on 19:51:54 Right, then put %album artist%\%album%\%title% in the output field. Should I fill all the albums with Performer data (I can use the Artist name as Performer data) before conversion? Rock and Pop music does not have that data. Yes, there is a challenge with the Classical files as they have Performer data. I did not realise that I will have to redo all the album art or cover art for all the FLAC files all over again? I assumed the album art or cover art included in the metadata would transfer to the FLAC file. What is Replaygain Scanning? I don't know if my files are replay gain enabled or not? It makes a lot of sense to try 1 album at a time and see how it goes. Artist was Vivaldi, Album was 4 seasons, and the Performer was Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra. So if Andre Previn \conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for Vivaldi's 4 seasons. The Artists name I have included as "Performer". I'd like my FLAC files to be organised as X:\FLAC\artirst\album\songname.flacįor classical albums, I have tried to be consistent and use "Composer Name" for Artist. I have my albums (including classical) organised as X:\WV\artist\album\songname.wv I don't think Foobar can copy non-audio files from subfolders, though (like artwork/scans/booklets), so you might have to do that separately. It depends on how you personally want your files organized, really. You'll probably want to include ReplayGain scanning (if you haven't scanned them already) and copy the cover files (mind the extensions: jpg, png, jp eg.

The principle is always the same, no matter the formats involved. You can find a few guides with a search, like this one, for example.
