Downloaded successfully, now trying to use, currently on first rip of CD. Interested to see how it identifies music as just like before I only have track 1, track 2 and so on.

Won't identify any songs, so I am pretty much doing exactly as I was before, and just moving numbered tracks to folders before manually going through them. Will see if any start disappearing.

If you aren't ripping from proper purchased CDs it won't be able to tell, nothing will.

Assuming that each CD has an album on rip one to a folder, then name the folder and it might pick up from that.

Not ripping from purchased CD's but that's ok, I can do it manually. However, I think I have identified the vanishing issue.

When transfering from each CD it always names them Track 1 to 10 etc. Therefore I am having to rename them before I even transfer them into the initial file as each rip produces the same names and therefore it duplicates filenames evey time. I have been renaming clumps of them using mouse press and shift, and the computer is auto naming them. I have then been renaming them again to what I want them to be called, and it is in the process that after a few renames, the file suddenly is unrecognisable and is lost. It just happened when trying to save the next load of tracks 1 to 10 ripped from mediamonkey.
