convert WAV music library to FLAC on command line and achieve best quality

I would like to produce (nearly) perfect FLAC files by verifying/checking all conversion steps. I'm hoping to do this in a single command, although a short bash script would be acceptable as a second choice. I am on Kubuntu 12.04 and I installed flac 1.2.1. Here is my starting point: find ~/Music -type f -iname "*.wav" | while read fn; do flac --keep-foreign-metadata --ogg --verify "$fn"; done How can I improve this? If shntool is recommended, how would I include it? How would I include checksum comparisons? How can I make FLAC test the integrity of each file? A working example is appreciated. BTW, I took a look at perfect-flac-encode , but it is too complicated for me. I don't even fully understand the first sentence of the project's description! The installation steps also look too complex. If there is a similar project that might fit my needs, please let me know.
