JRiver settings help please

[AlexS]

Hi, I am a new user and I have a couple of issues that I cant find any guidance on.
When I buy a CD I rip it using DBPoweramp and it saves to my NAS drive via my Network. JRiver does not automatically add this to my library. I have to go and do this manually every time I add a CD to my collection. Is this normal, or can I change the settings.

Secondly and more frustrating is I also rip the same CD to i tunes to have a copy for the car. JRiver automatically picks this up and updates the library. I dont want my ITunes library in my JRIver MC/

So right now my JRiver recognises and automatically updates the library I dont want it to and ignores my new additions to the library I would like it to automatically sync to  

Any guidance appreciated

I use JRiver itself to rip CDs (you can configure the Rip settings, to use "Secure Rip", in which case it would also produce the rip log). When you rip using JRiver, it'll be aware of the newly ripped CDs, and add them to the library. You can also configure where the ripped CDs go to in your file system. I actually rip to a directory outside of my monitored library, and then manually move to the right folder inside my library, which is  structured hierarchically: Genre --> Composer/Artist --> Album
For your "car" rips, you could rip to the same folder, but once you remove the files from there, JRiver will also automatically remove them from your library. Just make sure that when you set up your library, you choose the option to automatically monitor it. With that, you'll never need to import music to your library manually: when you add/remove a folder in your library, JRiver will automatically update it.
Once last word of advice: I don't know what format you're using, but JRiver does not work well with .cue and especially embedded .cue files. It would import them fine the 1st time, but if you make changes to the meta tags later on, you'll get into trouble. The options that works best is separate files for separate tracks.
