Does not find FLACs in monitored folder; is it because they lack tags?

I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this out. I used Exact Audio Copy to compress a couple cd's to flac. They did not compress but were left as wav's. They would not show up in Foobar. Tried "compress wavs" in EAC -- that also didn't work. It used to. The external flac compression program is where it should be. I assumed some EAC setting was wrong somewhere so I moved to plan B:

I used the audio editor Goldwave to convert the files to flac and put them in the appropriate location monitored by Foobar. Foobar still will not "see" the files. After a while,  I noticed that the flac files lack metadata. I hope I don't have to manually enter this. I guess it must be something in EAC that is not picking up the info. So I guess maybe this is an EAC issue -- not foobar. But I posted here before I discovered the metadata issue

Any help would be appreciated. This used to work without a hitch.

Can you post the console log?

Console is blank now. I'm assuming it's an EAC issue. I see many of the files are dumped in a ? album in the newest version of foobar. I'll upgrade my EAC and hopefully that'll compress and include metatags. Thanks
