Used EAC for ripping with a script that does the MP3s as soon as the FLACs are done
I would love to have the details on that. Speak slowly. I only impersonate a real geek.
I wish I could say that it was easy but it was far from it. If it ever breaks, I'm going to just manually do it twice per CD.
If you are already creating MP3s with EAC then you already have an MP3 encoder installed. I use and recommend LAME but there are a lot of options to understand when you set it up.
Good link on Lame options After that, you need some free third party software. I originally used
Autoflac However, you have to copy and modify a script to make it to what you want. Quick searching no longer finds for me an example script but it has to be out there.
The latest rage in automating EAC is called
REACT However, setting it up is all done by modifying it's .ini file. This requires a comfort with .ini files and/or scripting type languages. It doesn't look much easier than AutoFlac was.
I can send you my script for AutoFlac if you PM me. It will get you started and it's fairly obvious how to change compression ratios and such once the hard part is working.
