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.
