Thanks, I tried a test copy of an album last night with Mp3tag since I already have it on the system, and it works very well, although thanks for the tip about leaving the file name, I didn't know that - that's just a Sooloos thing, right? I'll look up Media Monkey, not used that before.
Gotta say I'm well impressed with dBpa - I'm ripping simultaneously to alac, and simply dragging into iTunes creates perfect albums (even with track level metadata) every time, I've found it flawless so far. Sooloos is more finicky but it's still somehow less painful doing it this way and then batch importing when I have a moment. I really hope we get an update at some point which makes it as intuitive and simple!
Here's a thought, as well as my standard Sooloos backup, I think it might be easier to just backup my alac files - they contain all the metadata in a form most streamers should understand, and presumably alac is losslessly batch convertible to FLAC, or other formats, with dBpa music converter.
Cheers,
James
