Hello all,
I ripped my CDs to WAVs (seperate tracks), and then recently encoded them to FLACs. From those FLACs, I used foobar to encode them to MP3s. Did I loose quality there? Should I have encoded the MP3s directly from WAVs? Thanks!

No; no.
The only step in which quality was lost was FLAC to MP3. In other words, no, your result should be bit-for-bit identical to if you converted directly from WAV.
Okay, great. Thanks!
