[Flac-dev] ID3-style information

[Asheesh Laroia]

Oh.  I didn't know that one could use ID3 tagging with FLAC.

I would love to begin converting my collection as soon as is possible.

Do you have configuration information for me to use grip?

If not, I can probably generate it myself from the command-line parameter
lists.

Thanks again!
