Andrew - can soundkonverter target the output files to a completely different directory structure? I.e., can it take input from /audio/flac/Artist/album/*.flac and send it to /audio/mp3/artist/album/*.mp3 where it needs to create the directories in the output tree? If so this would be great for my needs. I'll build it later this evening. Thanks, Mark
