Hi all,

I ripped one of my CDs using dbpoweramp to the FLAC format,
and I noticed that no descriptive info was included and
that the files have generic names e.g. track01.flac.

Can FLAC support that info i.e. metadata about a file?

Thanks.

I use dbPowerAmp to rip to FLAC and it includes tag info and track
names. Do you have it configured to do FREEDB lookups?

Bingo, thanks. I guess I find the FLAC UI to be a bit confusing,
coming from FreeRip.
