I need to convert a bunch of .flac files to .mp3 files, but the sox and flac command tools thats in the base repo won't do that. EPEL doesn't seem to have much either. I went looking at ATRPMS but am getting database errors from their home page :( I know rpmforge used to have this stuff, but its virtually unmaintained today so I've written it off.
any suggestions? I don't really want to have to build this stuff from source.

The nux repo has most of the multimedia stuff and is more or less the go to repo these days.
I would just use it to install ffmpeg which should include the needed codecs.
ffmpeg -i myfile.flac myfile.mp3 will probably do it.
(Untested--actually I built ffmpeg from source, because I wanted a later version, but that had more to do with some video stuff.)
