 My main problem is not so much the conversion, as I said, but the tags.
 I used not to care about them, but it seems audio players on mobile
 devices rely more and more heavily on them these days, making it very
 painful to play untagged albums, hence my renewed interest in a
 full-blown script.

 There ia program on Sourceforge that seems to do what you want, on command
 line:
 http://pacpl.sourceforge.net/

 Perl Audio Converter is a tool for converting multiple audio types from one
 format to another. It supports AAC, AC3, AIFF, APE, AU, AVR, BONK, CAF,
 CDR, FAP, FLA, FLAC, IRCAM, LA, LPAC, M4A, MAT, MAT4, MAT5, MMF, MP2, MP3,
 MP4, MPC, MPP, NIST, OFR, OFS, OGG, PAC, PAF, PVF, RA, RAM, RAW, SD2, SF,
 SHN, SMP, SND, SPX, TTA, VOC, W64, WAV, WMA, and WV. It can also convert
 audio from the following video formats: RM, RV, ASF, DivX, MPG, MKV, MPEG,
 AVI, MOV, OGM, QT, VCD, SVCD, M4V, NSV, NUV, PSP, SMK, VOB, FLV, and WMV. A
 CD ripping function with CDDB support, batch conversion, tag preservation
 for most supported formats, independent tag reading/writing, and extensions
 for Amarok, Dolphin, and Konqueror are also provided. It certainly looks like what
I'm after; I'll give it a try when I have a
minute.
Thanks.
Cheers,
