Hi,
This is probably a complete newbee question, but I can't figure it out and I didn't find anything relevant when I tried searching.
A little while ago my brother brought me a few CDs with mp3 that he ripped from my CDs that I never brought with me when I moved to the States. So, today I sat down to import them into MC. I thought that this would be a pretty simple procedure, something along the lines of popping the cd in, selecting all files in MC, and clicking Import which would then give me an option to move the files onto the hard drive and create proper folders and subfolders in my Music folder. Pretty much, an mp3 version of the CD rip process. No such luck, unfortunately. If I select the files and try to import them into the library, MC just imports them, keeping the reference to the files on the CD. This is a sensible behavior, and often that's exactly what one wants. But it would seem to me that it is not that uncommon that one wants to not only import but also copy already encoded files from a cd or a dvd onto the hard drive. I don't see an option to do this anywhere.
Is there an easy, automated way to do this? Basically, I would like to automatically copy the files from the cd, have MC create the proper artist-album folder hierarchy as it does the copying, rename the files from tags, and then import the copied files into the library. Creating the proper folders, copying files one album at a time, and then renaming them is really tedious.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Pedja
