Thanks garym for the detailed information. I tried it with one artist's folder and dbpoweramp had errors converting 14 album folders from one artist. dbpoweramp only was able to convert five folders out of 14 and out of those five folders, 80 percent of the tracks before coming up with errors. Even if I retried converting the errors (repeatedly), dbpoweramp still had errors and was not able to convert all of the 14 albums completely.
This test hardly gives me any confidence that I can successfully convert all my 20,000 tracks into flac and consider making the switch from WAV to FLAC. Also in the conversion none of my album folder art was taken. By mousing over each of the FLAC files that were created, I see that FLAC adds just a couple more attributes (like all the artists performing on that track), but for me the album art is more important to me than other artists that perform on each track. So unless I am doing something gravely wrong, I think I'll be content by just copying all of my WAV files in their current artist/album folder/track structure to my ReadyNAS. The extra size of WAV files over FLAC has never been a discriminator for me. My ReadyNAS and Transporter are hard wired over Gigabit so I don't have any issues with network bandwidth. And storage space isn't an issue either, even with the current 1.92TB size of all my WAV files, storage is cheap these days as you might agree--the price for convenience. Thanks for all your advice though. I just have too much invested in WAV files.
