I use dbpoweramp to create the stub then manually copy it to the directory structure

You can save your wav files but if you want meta data including album art it's not the best way to do it.

I do this -

Directory structure -

flac/artists/artist_name/album_name/track#_songname
flac/downloads/artist_name/album_name/track#_songname
flac/soundtracks/album_name/track#_songname
flac/compilations/album_name/track#_songname

After I make the original recording - 2 wav files one for each side I rip the cdrw with dbpoweramp cd ripper (converting it to flac) to a working directory. Then I use audacity to create tracks - name them and set the track #. Then mp3tag to fill in the remaining tag info - which actually creates the album. **Then dbpoweramp to convert and rename the files and build the directory stub album/track#_songname. Then I manually copy them into the above file structure. Repeat from ** for iTunes.

I have both an flac and an itunes directory tree. One could streamline the above procedure but I have found this to be the fastest way for me to get it done as I'm usually doing several records/cds/downloads at a time.
