FLAC ripped with EAC, convert to mp3 with proper tags and folder organ Options

[g725s]

I ripped my CD collection with EAC to FLAC. Now I'd like to convert the FLAC to mp3 and put it on my android phone. I'll be using PowerAmp to play it on my phone.

Currently I have my folders named and organized as such... Artist/Artist - Album - (date)/01 - songname.flac

With EAC an m3u file was put in the album folder, as well as a text file for EAC. I have copied to each album a "cover.jpg" as the album art
I have CUE files for the rips but they were automatically left out of the Artist/Album folders by EAC

Now I'm not too familiar with m3u's and CUE's and not really sure what use they have exactly.

I just want to convert my FLAC collection to MP3 to play on my android phone (Galaxy S3) using PowerAmp.

How should I convert the FLAC to MP3 (or should I use WMA?) ?

What tags are needed...CUE's, m3u's, etc.?

And how should I name and organize my folders and albums etc.?

Or any other suggestion you might give me here.
Thanks!

I'd use AAC and do the conversion with foobar2000. If you're interested, download:

foobar2000 -> http://www.foobar2000.org
qaac -> https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/cabinet/qaac_2.10.zip

Install foobar2000 ("Full" install) and unzip qaac to someplace permanent on your hard drive. Write back for next steps.

In the end, you'll have the same folder structure as you have now. All tags in your current FLACs will automatically come over as will cover art JPG file. Typical album size will be about 60MB. M3U and CUE files are not involved.

How do I get Foobar2000 to convert using the qacc? I tried doing the same thing I did to get the mp3 to work but it won't do it for qacc. When I try to point f2k to the location of qacc it does not appear. Should I do a custom, and if so, how?
