From Wav to Flac with replaygain in one step?

Is it possible to use one script or a command in foobar2000 which does this:

1. convert various albums from wav to Flac (in different directories)
2. tag the Flac files based on directory and filenames
3. apply replaygain to these multiple albums
4. delete the .wav sources
(order may vary, the result is what matters)

Mareo can do this but withi only one album at a time and is too cumbersome to use. In foobar2000 I can't figure out how to do it in one single step/click.
 

From Wav to Flac with replaygain in one step?

If you start with a good ripper, EAC Exact Audio Copy, then following 3 steps are done in 1 click:


1.1. extract & convert album from CD-wav to Flac
1.2. tag the Flac files
1.3. delete the .wav sources

2nd step, 1 click in foobar2000, and this is possible for multiple albums with album&track gain values:

2. apply replaygain to these multiple albums

as far as I know, this 2 step procedure is the most efficient way to rip multiple albums, described in High Quality Guide for users


Your problem is currently different of course, if you have already wav files on HD, then foobar can mass-convert multiple albums,
foobars masstagger can help you for guessing tags from filenames or directory names.
then the replaygaining.
This should be analogue to the described way of converting Lossless to eg. MPC:
