Open the folder where you opted to save the converted files and confirm all is well.
Once it’s done, a confirmation window will appear.
foobar2000 will now begin to convert your files.
Then you’ll be asked to locate lame.exe – so navigate to wherever it’s located on your drive, select it and then click the Open button.
If you opted to have foobar ask you where to save the converted files each time you start a conversion, you’ll be prompted to select a location to save the files.
Give it a name (something descriptive is good) and then click the Convert button.
Click the Save button found between the Saved presets and Current settings sections.
Now it’s time to save this as a new preset.
Click the Back button after you’ve made your selections. You can also customize the naming scheme for the converted files. I recommend Ask me later and that way you’ll be prompted to choose a location each time you convert a batch of files.
From here you can choose where you want the converted files to be saved.
Click the Back button to return to the main Converter Setup window and then select the Destination link.
Click the OK button after you’ve made any adjustments.

Click the Output format link in the Current settings section.
From here you’ll create your first “conversion preset”.
Select the files you want to convert, right-click on them, choose Convert and then … (the 3 dots menu item – see screenshot below). For this example I’m going to convert some.
Now locate a file or several files (songs) that you want to convert from one format to another.
Once you’ve installed foobar2000 and have copied lame.exe and lame_enc.dll to a folder on your drive, launch the foobar app and go through the initial setup.
Foobar is super easy to install, and LAME just needs to be unzipped to a folder – I strongly recommend C:\Program Files\lame\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\lame\ (just create the lame folder and extract the files to it).
Download foobar2000 if you don’t already have it installed, and LAME, which you’ll need if you want to create MP3 files.
