I want to convert all my TAK lossless music to NeroAAC through foobar, but the two options of putting the output files in a specific folder or the same folder don't work for me. I have all my files in a "Music" folder and all the lossy files will go into a "Music - Lossy" file. Both folders are organized in the 'artist/album' style. The option of selecting each album individually every time to convert to its respective folder is very inefficient. I was thinking of essentially copying and pasting the "Music" file folders in the "Music - Lossy" one, and then converting all the files to NeroAAC in their same directories, before deleting all the TAK copies, but with 145 gigs of music that's a lengthy copying & pasting process. Is there a way to do this through foobar or some plugin or whatever? Sorry if this is a confusing read

Thanks for your time

At the top of the Converter page in foobar2000's preferences are the filename settings. You can easily automate the process.



That's my settings. Feel free to modify them however you want to suit your naming scheme. Create a folder where you want to save the lossy files. Then when you go to convert your files right-click > Convert > Convert to... and select where you want the lossy files. It'll start encoding them and saving them there.

I hope that answer your question.

Wow, thanks. I had thought about that but I had no clue if it was possible to do folder subdivisions. Thanks for the quick help
