Hi, certainly not the most elegant way converting a FLAC library to mp3 but in the mind of open source at least another way. Just hacked this shell-script for my personal use/requirement so there's no warranty and i will not be responsible if this script erases your music library - certainly not designed to do it :-)
system/requirements - GNU Linux - flac/metaflac binaries - lame binaries - id3tag (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/) features (disclamer: on my system) - duplicate a directory with all subfolders, at the same time converting all .flac files to .mp3 (non .flac files are just copied) - works with all non usual file and directory names (umlauts, spaces, ', ..) - exclude directories/files with glob patterns. I have some surround tracks (ac3, dts) with no use on the portable player - preserve the most common tags (including values with special chars like german umlauts using the ISO8859-15 code-page; YMMV) - use file timestamps to process only non-exisiting or new files, sync timestamps between both directories so another sync-tool could be used to transfer all new files to another device - optional: remove mp3 files with no flac counterpart to keep both libraries in sync. This script's called via daily cron and keeps my portable mp3 lib up to date. It should be most self explaning so if this is of any use to you - use/modify it to your own needs...
