Again, as you've already found out, no it won't.
Just copy all your mp3s over and then run flac2mp3.
If I extend flac2mp3 to include "mirroring", i.e. delete any files found
in the target directory that don't have corresponding source files, then
I may consider adding mp3 copying.
I have created a simple shell script to copy all files (excluding flac)
to the target directory and then run the flac2mp3 converter.
I created a file called copyandvert.sh into the directoty where all my
music is located (/home/john/Music for me) and gave it execute
priviliges to me.
The content of the file is:
find . -not -name "*.flac" -print | cpio -pvdu /home/john/converted/
flac2mp3 ./ /home/john/converted/
Obviously change /home/john/converted to the directory where you want
all your mp3's and converted flacs to be placed. Also add the path to
flac2mp3 (I have copied mine to /usr/bin/ therefore it doesnt need a path).
If I work out how to use cron, I should be able to set it up to run each
night.
I will also look into running lame with a lower nice value otherwise
things could get very slow on my server if the convert job extends into
the day time!
Sorry, this is linux specific I think.
I've set up a bunch of mail lists relating to flac2mp3.
Details are here:

crossposted to the the above mailing list, but figured more people would
read it here.
Cheers
