Id3 tags and EAC "copy image and create cue sheet"

This is the problem: I am in the process of archiving my whole collection of classical music in mp3/mpc format. I would like to use the "copy image and create cue sheet - compressed" option in EAC.

However, I ahave not yet managed to:

(i) have the mp3 named automatically from the album name (as read from cddb by EAC);

(ii) have id3 tags automatically addedd to the big compressed mp3/mpc file.

Any solution? (I find annoying to add id3 to the already compressed file, using a different software!)

Thanks!

If you're planning to use MPC, you don't have to create one mammoth image file per album in the first place - since the format is gapless, you can store the tracks in separate files while still being able to playback the album seamlessly. That would save you all the additional work.

But I'm afraid there is no real solution to your problem, at least not as far as I know. EAC can't be configured to use a specified naming scheme for image files, or to add tags to it.
