Flac to MP3 Converter

flac_to_mp3.py

'''
This script will convert all flac files in the current directory and its subdirectories to mp3 files.
What's nice about this script is that it will also remove the flac files after converting them to mp3.

This script uses ffmpeg to convert the files. You need to have ffmpeg installed on your system.

To install ffmpeg on Ubuntu, run the following command:
```
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
```

To install ffmpeg on Mac, run the following command:
```
brew install ffmpeg
```

To install ffmpeg on Windows, download the binaries from the official website: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

After installing ffmpeg, you can run this script to convert flac files to mp3 files.
No other dependencies are required.

Usage: python flac_to_mp3.py
