Audio format (batch) convert/transcode

f0dder:
I finally got myself a new MP3 player (my Creative MuVo^2 4gig died several years ago), a Sandisk Sansa E280 player with 8gig of flash memory. Much <3, especially since it simply pops up as a disk drive and doesn't require stupid drivers.

I have all my own CDs ripped to one .cue file and .wav file per album (those .wav's are going to be .flac some day, but haven't gotten around to that yet :-[ ), which is just fine for foobar and other decent software players - but obviously my MP3 player wants mp3 files :)

I've tried using foobar's convert tool, which does work - but it dumps all files in one folder, instead of splitting per album.

So, does anybody know a decent (preferably free) transcoder/converter that supports cue files?

f0dder:
Note: I've already tried MediaCoder, but it isn't able to YEAR and ALBUM from .cue sheets, it's config system suuuuucks, etc.

I have a feeling that foobar can probably do what I want, but that it's just me that doesn't know how to fix it (it's config system suuuuucks, etc.)

Hm, didn't even think about dbPoweramp, I do own a license but I only use it for ripping :-[. If it can handle cue/wav input, I should take a look at it, though. But iirc it uses fraunhofer and not LAME for MP3 codec, ho humm.

I think I got foobar2000 to do what I want, though - I set single tracks formatting specifier to this: [%album artist%]\[%album artist% - ][{%date%}] %album%\[%tracknumber%] - [%title%] ... I would prefer straight brackets around %date%, but I dunno how to escape them  :-[
