In Options/File Location/Ripping... , you can set the location. The default is "Folder rule: [Artist]\[Album]"

I know, but for compilations and multi-disc albums Easy gives me better options for storing, further as I remenber it Album artist is not supported while ripping. just upgraded to MC13 BTW, cool new features, looking forward to play with it.

So getting MC to read then should - in mind mind - only be a question of definning then 100% correctly or I am totally wrong here?

Correct. You can create an AccurateRipDiscID library field (without the equal symbol in front of the text string) and MC will read the file tag. If the file is already imported you need to do "Update Library (from tags)".

You can use the "Album Artist (auto)" field:

MC and EAC (Exact Audio Copy) have the so called secure ripping mode that tries to reread the possibly bad sectors and creates a log file. The last time I checked, Easy CD-DA Extractor didn't have a similar feature. Here's a screenshot of the secure mode settings:

You can also add the Disc number field to the filename rule and to the "rip details" view. However, MC seems to have a bug (or a design flaw) in this view. When a Disc number or any other field is added to the "rip details" view the column setup is not stored. The next time the view is opened the columns are reset to the default.
Some of the default columns like "stack icon" or "bitrate" are completely useless when audio CDs are ripped. Here is a screenshot of the columns that I would like to see by default:

Thx a lot, sounds like I got to give it another try as ripper.
