How to transcode FLAC to MP3 (lame) with Foobar?

How to transcode FLAC to MP3 (lame) with Foobar?

Whats the proper method to get the best result?  I want the conversion to be simple and have the mp3s have the tags from the flac files.  I have be so used to using EAC to convert to mp3 from cd.  This is the first I have used foobar for transcoding.

Thanks

After searching a discovery I have found this.
1.  Decode into .wav format.
2.  Encode in mp3 with lame.
3.  Use masstagger to load the tag information from filename.

Number 2 is the step I still can't figure out.  I am not sure how to configure this.  I'll keep on trying but help is needed.

Thanks

Select the files in foobar, right click on them, go to convert -> settings.  Choose where your lame.exe is, the command line, etc. Then right click on the files again, choose convert -> run conversion -> CLI encoder. That's all there is too it.

What version are you using.  I am using v0.8.  I am not seeing "CLI encoder" in the dialog window on the left (rightclicked, convert, settings).

Where can I download a older version.  I liked it more.
