how i roll

So I figured out FLAC files. And it's tricky. and takes a while a few different steps. First, download the file you want..(I've been getting the Tuned to A Natural E volumes which I've been liking quite a bit) then once it's taken an hour and half to download, extract the files, 'cos it's RAR right now and you can't do anything with that. So now you've got extracted FLAC files. Open up Winamp and make sure your something or another is set to decode those, then click..play file/folder and it will decode your Flac files to WAV files. Right, then, go into itunes and do the same thing, play/add file/folder, and add the WAV files. Then highlight all the files which will have names stupid names like Track01_01 or whatever and click 'Create an MP3' and let those convert. Now, go find and delete the WAV files, they're huge and take up space. Don't delete the MP3s. The WAVs. From your files, then make sure to delete them from itunes, too, otherwise it'll say 'this file cannot be found! would you like to find it?' Now you've got these MP3s with no album, artist, or names. Got to edit that. Highlight all of those- click Get Info. Add the Artist Name, Album name, and album artwork. Then go in to each single track and add the song title and track number- if you don't add the track number its gonna just alphabetize them and you'll have no order whatsoever.
There's gotta be a better way.
