Newb help: My FLAC files aren't named properly

When trying to rip the Greenday Dookie via EAC and FLAC I get Unknown Artist - Unknown Title as the FLAC filename. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,
-Jonathan.

Is the info showing up in EAC?

You need to set it up to use FreeDB. Just put in any email address into Eac --->freedb options. Then go over to the database pulldown menu and select "Get cd information from" pick cddb and the names will appear A cd as popular as that one will for sure be in the database.

That worked, thanks. Any CD not in their database will have be manually named, correct?

Yes.  You could then submit it to the freedb database also.
