Hallo,
I generally rip CDs I buy to Flac to listen to them at my PC. jack
(the other one) does a good job with ripping and also tags files
accordingly from FreeDB lookups. Now to listen to some of my Flac-CDs
on my portable player, I'd like to compress them a bit more and encode
them to Ogg or MP3 - my player supports both. (Actually it supports
flac as well, but it has only 2GB.)
So now I'm looking for a tool to help me mass convert my flacs. I can
convert the files to ogg just fine e.g. with ecasound or so and some
scripting or the flag2ogg tool, however the problem with that aproach
is, that all meta-tags get lost!
Does anyone know of a command line tool to convert flac to ogg/mp3
which also converts the meta-tags?
Ciao

Sorry for the quick self-reply, but just after writing the mail, I
found a nice tool for me: "soundconverter", a Gnome/Python script with
Debian package, that can mass convert while preserving tags. Not
command line, but the GUI is just one window with a file list, so it's
okay.

I preserve tags using scripts, multiple tools, and file naming

Good luck....

oggenc from the vorbis-tools package will preserve the tags - flac and vorbis use the same
comment/tag conventions.
I don't have a solution for MP3 though.

Ah cool, I didn't know that. That's a perfect solution for me, thanks.

Not a command-line tool, but Aqualung has a nice interface for ripping
CDs directly to FLAC (among others), tagging files with CDDB or
CD-Text metadata. Aqualung also has a file exporting feature which
allows files to be recoded to MP3 (among others), preserving metadata
as much as possible.

pacpl (http://pacpl.sourceforge.net/) converts from/to almost any format,
and preserves most tags. Works pretty well for me.
