I have about 5 gigs worth of lossless wma files that I want to convert to 192kbps using foobar. Do you need to make a copy of the lossless files if you still want to keep those before converting?

I don't see why that should be needed.
Cause a converter application should not delete the source files without warning, or a setting to toggle deleting on/off.

no need for that. use lame mp3

Suggestion - rip them at 320kbps. Way better sound quality, very, very close to lossless.

dbpoweramp can do this. Also gives you the choice of keeping the source files or deleting after the encode.

Alot of people can't tell the difference between 192 and 320.

You have to pay to convert to mp3.
