The "info.txt" file should contain the artist names for each track encoded in the tracknames as "artist - trackname" and specify the artist as "Various Artists".

Album: Debut LP Magazine - Issue 02

04 Orange Juice - A Place In Your Heart
05 The Shillelagh Sisters - Cheatin' Teasin' Man
06 Steve Levine - Waiting In Line

07 Illustrated Man - Sensation
08 Carmel - Tracks Of My Tears
09 Passion Puppets - Child
10 Flesh For Lulu - Subterraneans
11 Ultravox - Heart Of The Country

cd to the directory containing the source wav files:

J:\Raw Audio\Various Artists\Debut LP Magazine\Debut LP Magazine - Issue 02>cd WAV

The following command will generate flac files with the defaut compression level of 8 and mp3 files with a constant bitrate of 320 kbps. The album will be designated as an LP by the "-l" switch and the generated mp3's will be copied to the directory "D:\My Music\Artist\Various Artists". Since the artist name of "Various Artists" is used the "-A" switch is not needed and the script will automatically recognize the album as a compilation, extract the artists names for each track from the tracknames in the "info.txt" file and flag the ablum as a compilation with the compilation id3 tag.
