[iTunes] Re: unknown album folder

[Thubten Kunga]

When you are going to rip a CD:
1. connect to the internet if you don't have a permanent broadband 
connection.
2. insert the CD
3. Under the Advanced menu pull down to "Get CD Track Names" and wait 
for the CDDB website to return your track, artist and album 
information. Sometimes the track names are reversed with the artist 
name esp in compilations. But otherwise everything should be OK. If the 
CDDB is wrong, after you make the tag changes, pull down the "Submit CD 
Track Names" to send your corrections back to the CDDB to help them 
keep track of what the tags should be.
4. Make sure you have set your iTunes Music Folder Location to where 
you want it with the Preferences...Advanced pane. Also check "Keep 
iTunes Music Folder Organized" but NOT "Copy files to iTunes Music 
folder when adding to library".
5. Also make sure you have checked "Create File Names With Track 
Numbers" in the Import preference pane.
6. When you rip, the appropriate folder hierarchy will be placed in the 
folder of your choice with the tracks listed in proper order.
