Hi, Yes, I also have a duplicate of everything in mp3 format. Initially I used Dbpoweramp to batch convert the whole lot. Now after ripping a cd, I immediately make a copy of the flac files as mp3's. For this I use a program called Trader's little helper. TLH is a very useful little utility which performs various conversion tasks, amongst other things. It's also free, and pretty accessible.
There is a way in eac to call multiple external encoders, so when ripping, both mp3 and files could be created simultaneously. Although, I never quite made that work successfully here. regards, Tim.
