Yep, but how the files are tagged at the outset starts with ripping. Different ripping programs usually have a different tagging scheme or settings that can be changed.

Get the file tagging and library location and structure sorted out form the off and everything works swimmingly well.

Correct on both counts.

Otherwise FB2K is great for my needs.

In EAC it asks where you'd like the file to end up. By navigating to it, it gets the path, \\NAS-xx-xx-xx\Documents\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music and the new folder in my music titled as the album I'm ripping, and...

It completely ignores it!

But if I paste that lot into the Foobar 2000 dialogue box, after ripping, I find it where I wanted it.

Perhaps EAC doesn't like the directory depths?

Here's an example of where EAC put an album...

EAC directory fun

I've just started an EAC rip to a place on my NAS, and it's creating stuff where it's supposed to go.
Currently the only entry is a WAV file, but at the end of the track rip I expect it to have post rip compression applied and for the file to become a FLAC.

For whatever reason, the external compression didn't work - it could be down to a permissions thing.
I don't allow anything to write on the NAS, so it's possible the NAS sees EAC as a user without write permissions.

Messing about with permissions on the NAS did nothing.
The breakdown point for me seems to be that the initial rip (to WAV) is not being read back from the NAS, which in turn means that EAC cannot compress the file to FLAC.

If I'm not mistaken dBPoweramp deals with the compression from a cached file, rather than the one written to the location.

EAC works fine to a location on the local (ie the computer it's installed on) machine, so an external HDD connected via USB would work just fine.
