Aha! I too have a utility named flac2mp3.pl which, surprisingly enough, converts flac files to mp3 format.

I wrote it for exactly the same situation - I store all my music in flac format and needed to convert it to mp3 for my iPod.

My goal was to write something that I could just point at a directory tree full of flac files and have it mirrored into a corresponding directory structure full of mp3 files. I also only want to convert those files that need converting, i.e. newly-added files. Finally, I didn't want to have to re-transcode a file if only the tags have changed, so I added a tags-only mode.

Sounds as if it is just what I need!!
Just a few questions!

1) can I specify what quality MP3 output to use?
2) if there are MP3 files in the source directory, will it just copy these to the output directory (this is the behavious I am looking for)

Cheers
