i just did a quick test with abcde, ripping a CD to flac both with and without the "-1" option (diff being ripping to a single FLAC file versus individual FLAC files). the difference in final, total size is negligible, both directories around 267M.
is there any benefit to one strategy or the other? i assume that i can rip a CD to a single FLAC file and, subsequently, break it into pieces later when i decide how i want to organize CDs and individual songs.
I'd go with one file per track as opposed to one file per CD.
The breaking into pieces later on seems like more work. Besides, on almost any CD there will be one or two tracks that aren't of interest even if the artist is a favorite.
BoBW - one folder per CD and one file per track.
that's what i'm getting with "abcde -o flac", so i'm just going to stick with that.
