How to get Metadata in Exact Audio Copy EAC ripping

Experts,

I am new to the as well. I am interested in a download in FLAC format, as the title/music, is not offered on CD/SACD.

I use a Dell PC w/ Windows 10. I wish to download in the simplest of way,
store the file, burn onto a CD-r. A one-time only endeavor.

I would be grateful for your consultations.  What is Metadata?

Happy Listening!

@jafant The download process is going to be somewhat specific to the source you are downloading from.  For example, HD Tracks has its own downloader app that installs on your PC to manage the download (it can download multiple tracks at once).

For burning I use a free program called CDBurnerXP which, despite its name, runs fine on Windows versions post-XP.  It will automatically convert the flac files you downloaded to wav files on the fly while burning (wav is the native format for CDs).  Windows 10 may have something built in but I'm not sure (I'm still using 7) and it would have to convert the flac files to wav as well.

Metadata is a fancy word for the information about the songs/album.  This information is stored in the files themselves for formats that allow for it (flac does while wav does not).  This allows music players (not usually CD players although I'm sure there are exceptions) to display the song title, album title, artist, album artwork, etc. during playback.

That's all correct, but I would add 1 thing. If you're new computer based audio, it's very easy to confuse metadata (or tags-same thing), with file system info, especially if you have a music player that has both file and library views. 

For example, if you look at your music files in Windows Explorer, you'll see your music however it looks on your hard drive. Metadada (tagging) is completely different. Let's say you download files from the band "Rolling Stones" and you want it to be "The Rolling Stones" instead. If you make the name change to the file itself in Explorer, you won't see the change in library view (metadata). Or, if you retag the metadata, you won't see the change in the file structure. 

If you're not aware of the above you run the risk of throwing your computer out the closest window. 

Much Thanks! guys.
