CLI based, but very simple. It will mirror your directory structure and 
preserve any meta-tags:  http://badcomputer.org/unix/code/sneetchalizer/

Something like:
$ sneetchalizer -r -D /my/mp3s/ --in=flac --out=mp3 /my/flacs/

will do everything you specified above with one command.

Ruby powered ;)
