Find command syntax to perform an audio conversion

Question

Hi there,
I have to navigate through a tree of directories in which I have some .flac files and for each one I find launch a command to convert them to an iTunes recognized format (around 4000 files and a few hundred directories) possibly in the same directory where the flac file is found.
I can find the flac with the find "/Volumes/Qmultimedia/rjamusic -iname \*\.flac" command, what next ?
Thank you very much

From the man file:
-exec utility [argument ...] ;
             True if the program named utility returns a zero value as its exit status.  Optional arguments may be
             passed to the utility.  The expression must be terminated by a semicolon (``;'').  If you invoke find
             from a shell you may need to quote the semicolon if the shell would otherwise treat it as a control
             operator.  If the string ``{}'' appears anywhere in the utility name or the arguments it is replaced by
             the pathname of the current file.  Utility will be executed from the directory from which find was exe-
             cuted.  Utility and arguments are not subject to the further expansion of shell patterns and constructs.
EXAMPLE
find / -type f -exec echo {} \;
             Use the echo(1) command to print out a list of all the files.
Add whatever audio conversion utility you are using instead of echo.
