Hi.
What, free, program is recommended to convert FLAC files to MP3, WAV or WMA?

PS
Yes im aware of the disadvantages of transcoding.

Use the FLAC frontend (usually installed along with the codec) to convert the file to WAV. Then convert the WAV to MP3 using something like CDex.

There's probably a better way but that's what I'd usually do.

Flac is lossless, so you won't lose anything from flac to mp3, well obviously you will because mp3 is lossy, but you're converting from lossless in the first place, not lossy to lossy.
