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