Thanks to all for the comments. I still think something I could use

Did you look further at sox for conversion?
Chris Liddell said he used it to resample, but it does many more things
than that.
You may well find that the following just works:
sox mytrack.flac mytrack.mp3
If not, try deliberately converting in two stages:
sox mytrack.flac mytrack.wav
sox mytrack.wav mytrack.mp3
That would allow you to verify that the .wav itself is sensible.
Historically, not many distros package sox with MP3 support 'cause of
the patent license issues - I don't know if that's changed much, these days.
I tend to use "lame" directly because, well, I've been doing this kind
of stuff for a while, and back then, lame was the only choice.....
And I tend to use "flac" for flacs, just because....
