Converting Flac to MP3 while retaining directory structure

I've got a load of flac files sorted into directory by artist, then album. I'm converting a load of files to put on an MP3 player and would really like to retain the directory structure. Foobar works great for converting 1 directory at a time, but if I tell its converter to do a directory with several sub-directories, it ouputs all files into one directory. Can anyone suggest how I could do this...

TIA,

Jon

Try with the latest version of foobar2000 (currently 0.9.3b4):

if you want resulting MP3 files in the same directory as FLACs
- add all your FLAC files you're gonna convert to playlist
- select all and choose Convert -> Convert to Same Directory.

if you want resulting MP3 files to be in some other directory
- go to Preferences -> Tools -> Converter
- change Output File Names -> Single tracks to
Code: [Select]
%album artist%\%album%\%tracknumber% - %title%
- select all and choose Convert -> Convert to...

Edit. Added another variant.

Converter's running now, but seems to have sorted it - thanks
