I use Artist/Album Name/Track# - Title.flac/mp3  (I believe this is Myth 
default) and I have roughly 500 CDs. The tag data is what determines how 
it will be presented in Mythmusic.

I use Myth to rip (or from a Windows box, EAC and Flac frontend) then 
cleanup the tag info and collect album art using Mp3tag. It is not 
automatic but Mp3tag allows you to update multiple tags on multiple 
files at the same time. It goes fairly quickly as long as you have 
something else to do while waiting.
