    Right, I have just started using this along with the LAME.exe to rip my CD's after I found out I can no longer use Media Monkey (free version) as the trial had run out.

    After some fiddling with my file names settings I have managed to get it to rip a cd, unfotunately without any tag data.

    The guide I was using was a little out of date and the codes for the tags seemed to have changed over recent versions.


    Additional command line options:
    -V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

    The above was what is suggested in the guide.
    Below is what I have managed to convert to the new format, but I am a little short.

    -V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr2%" %s %albumartist%

    What is %m, %g & %s?

    My guess is %g is genre so it looks like there could be a nistake in the original code becuse logic would suggest that --tg should be "%g" as tg would be track genre and --tl should be "%m" as tl would be track length with the m meaning minutes.

    Is there a library for the tag codes, that you need to use for the additional command line options and file names?
