Mark, |

I don't know any good FLAC to MP3 converter. But anytime I need to |
| 18 |
convert from one format to another I simply use FFMPEG. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
It's a command line program, but it is very easy to use. If you want, |
| 21 |
you can give me the quality parameters you want to use for the |
| 22 |
conversion and I can tell you the options you have to pass ffmpeg to |
| 23 |
convert from FLAC to MP3. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
About the directories and stuff, you could just use an script, but |
| 26 |
unfortunatelly I can't help you with that. |
