Custom destination w/ Metadata?

Hi

I use foobar2000 to rip CDs to .flac format. Currently I have to manually create the folder for the files to be put in before ripping.

I use my F:\ drive to save all my music in this format. F:\Artist\Album\Song.

I tried having foobar2000 ripping to F:\%Album Artist%\%Album% as a path, but it just used those characters as the new folder, rather than an integer using the metadata of the CD.

This isn't really that important, but would save time... and end my curiosity.

What am I doing wrong?

Can this be done?
F*ck the police.

Choose only F:\ as the destination folder, and put the remaining path variables into the file naming pattern.

example: %album artist%/%album%/%tracknumber% - %title%
