CD Ripping/File names

I have an iRiver H320, and I have it setup by genre, artist, and album, track number/track title.

Now I figured out how to customize the filename of each song when I rip music with Winamp, but something that's been bugging me is that when I rip the music it just dumps it into the My Music folder.

So I've been creating new folders with the artists name and album titles and changing it manually.

I was wondering if their is some setting that I can turn on or whatever, that will enable winamp to automatically create the Album folder, and put the music in its respective folder, under that respective artist.

For an example, I am ripping some of my Beck cds, and I have to create a new folder for each album, and change the destination for each album before I rip it.

Thanks in advance

pref > cd ripping > output file settings:

specify the destination folder for ripped tracks:
C:\my music\

specify the naming convention for ripped tracks:
<Artist>\<Album>\## - <Artist> - <Title>

will result in

C:\my music\Beck\Guero\01 - Beck - E-Pro.mp3


\ <--this means a new folder.
Explained when you click "format help" button...

thankyou very much

I read the format help key, but wasn't exactly sure how to type it for it to work the way I was wondering.

Sorry

Thanks again
