CD Ripping and Music Renaming

Hi! I have two questions

1.) Does foobar2000 support ripping CDs to FLAC and/or OGG Vorbis audio formats? Is there a lossless format I should use instead of FLAC?

2.) I've noticed by looking in winamp that this is how it would format filenames of ripped audio tracks

<Artist> - <Album>\<Track Number> - <Artist> - <Title>

I know of a lot of other people that use that formatting as well. I like how it works. My existing music library is all in one directory as <Artist> - <Album> - <Track Number> - <Title> for most and <Album> - <Track Number> - <Artist> - <Track Title> for soundtracks of movies etc. Is there a way to have foobar2000 to auto. rename them into directories? Thanks!

1) No. Use EAC to rip CDs. FLAC is a good choice. If you want to change, you can always transcode to another format later.

2) Use the forum search option (masstagger / rename)

Well, actually it supports ripping CDs, but it's nowhere as safe as EAC.

Ahh okay, thanks for the tips! I used to use EAC a while ago but I stopped using it when I got tired of ripping CDs to crappy mp3. Can FLAC be cleanly reverted to WAVE or whatever it's coverted to from CD?

I ran into a problem with the mass tag editor on two cds. Both were on my Crystal Method CDs. I renamed a completely random mp3 from another cd a song that was on one of the Crystal method CDs. The naming I used on the two is the same as on my other Crystal Method CD Legion of boom that worked fine and all my other music. I don't know what would throw it off, the filename seems fine and it happens with other mp3s.
