What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac?

I know this topic has been covered, but was wondering if there is an updated, and easy to use process. I had an old Qsonix server, on which I stored most of my music as wav files, due to the improved playback quality. I transferred files to my NAS, before my Qsonix drive died.
I am now using Roon, and it has not recognized, or imported my wav files from NAS to new streamer/server...all the Flac files and DSD files came over fine.
I do not possess strong computer skills; can someone suggest a relatively straightforward process to allow me to access my Wav files on NAs, in import to Innuos server as Flac, for playback via Roon? Is it possible to restore meta data, to recognize artist and track name, or organize the various tracks of an album onto an album?
Thanks

EAC is free and can rip CDs to WAV, FLAC, AND AIF (and others).  It can also be used to analyze and edit WAV files. It is simple to use and can convert WAV files to FLAC or AIF (my preference as you avoid on the fly decompression). It can also add meta data to ripped files.

I usually use MP3TAG to add album covers or bring over other tagging data for converted WAV files in FLAC or AIF format.
