I am currently using foobar v0.9.4.2 and am having some problems with my configuration of the "Converter" feature.

What I want to happen is for converter to maintain the same directory structure that currently exists under E:\Music-FLAC as it creates the new (MP3) files under E:\Music-MP3. Under the settings for converter, I have the following configured:

Output File Names -- Single tracks:


The output in the "file name preview" is correct. However, when I select "Convert To" using the right-click menu on a song, it defaults to a different drive (not E:) and does not suggest any new directory structure (based on what it sees in E:\Music-FLAC).

Any suggestions on how to correct my settings? As far as I can tell, my configuration is correct (especially given the current file name preview). Maybe there's a bug?

Any guidance would be much appreciated... Thanks!

Okay ... so I'm now able to answer my own question.

Apparently, when you try to convert a single file (as I was doing to test my Converter configuration), foobar2000 behaves differently than it would if you were converting multiple files.

I was able to accomplish what I originally wanted by selecting multiple files and tweaking the converter output option just slightly. The following is what I ended up with (and it works!)
