Not to me it would not. You are going from FLAC (lossless) to mp3 (lossy) then back to FLAC. However, the file you end up with will have the losses from the mp3 conversion so it would not be any better than the mp3 file.

I suppose it would still be "considered" Lossless since it has the appropriate extension on the end, but the fact is that when you convert a lossless audio file to mp3 it has to permanently lose a bunch of audio sectors in order to compress it. This is what effects the sound quality. So when you convert it back to lossless, there's no way to gain those lost audio sectors back, so it's really the same quality as the mp3 you converted it from. My advice: stick with lossless!
