Batch Converting files to new location but same organization

[firstlanding]

I have a large number of WAV files organized by artist folder > album > title. I want to convert to them FLAC and send the new files to a different hard drive location keeping the same organization. What is the setting(s) I need to do so?

Use dynamic naming as:

[origpath]\[origfilename]

and set the output to as the new drive.

I had already done this and it does not work. I am going from the folder 'Charles WAV from CD' on one drive to a folder named '_file' on my NAS drive.
What happens is this - the newly converted FLAC files come into a new folder within '_file' folder. This new folder is named 'Charles WAV from CD'. And all the music files from the various artist & album folders are now grouped together within this one folder. So then I have to manually create new artist & album folders and move the selected FLAC files into each folder.
If this is confusing to understand with words I can send you screen pics - just tell me how.

You have dynamic naming selected?

Click the list / rename button after you set this option, it will list the destination files and the source files with complete folders, the folders should match from source to destination.

does not help.
I have had dynamic naming selected. For the Ry Cooder-Crossroads folder within this source folder E:\CHARLES WAV from CDs\Ry Cooder
this is what list/name shows for one track only:
destination file: \\Ls420d679\music\CHARLES FLAC\_ file\CHARLES WAV from CDs\Ry Cooder - Crossroads01. Crossroads
source file:E:\CHARLES WAV from CDs\Ry Cooder - Crossroads01. Crossroads

There is no artist >> album >> title there, dBpoweramp can only preserve what is there, if you have ID Tags in the wave files you can set to:

[artist]\[album]\[title]
