--- Comment #6 from Gordon <gordoneki at web.de> ---
You can convert files to MP3 using ffmpeg right now, so this is not so
important.

Do you mean that the MP3 files created by K3b on-the-fly would replace or be
added to the existing FLAC or OGG files?  Perhaps the user gets to decide
between those. If the former option is selected (keep both original and MP3),
the user would have to be warned to leave more space free to avoid overshooting
the free space on the disc. The remaining space can be guessed by calculating
from the bitrate of the MP3 files to be created.

If MP3 files with the target name already exist, K3b would leave those alone.

As far as I remember, Nero 7 Essentials had a "jukebox CD" feature which left
MP3 and WMA files unaffected while converting everything else to MP3.

If this is implemented in K3b, it needs to be a separate mode like "new MP3 CD
project" or "new Jukebox CD" project. Introducing this to the data disc mode
(accessed through "New Data Project") could introduce unforeseen bugs for other
uses such as archival.
