Hi, I realize that this is not strictly flac-related, but...
I've got my collection in flac now, and at the end of the endeavor, I
realized that (I think...) I've managed to have a few different
encodings in the tags, one way or another.
For instance:
[root at localhost Zen Arcade]# metaflac --list 01-Something\ I\ Learned\
Today.flac > 1
[root at localhost Zen Arcade]# metaflac --no-utf8-convert --list
01-Something\ I\ Learned\ Today.flac > 1.no
[root at localhost Zen Arcade]# file 1 1.no
1: ASCII text
1.no: ISO-8859 text
[root at localhost Zen Arcade]# cat 1 1.no | grep -i artist
comment[0]: ARTIST=H#sker D#
comment[0]: ARTIST=H?sker D?
so I've done something wrong here I think :)
Is there an existing tool to go through & convert all my flac tags to
UTF-8 (and then I will probably manually fix up the few files such as
the above...) If such a thing does not exist, any suggestions for
writing one?
Thanks,
-Eric (who really groks nothing about character encoding....)
