Wow. All that in just one tiny line of commands. Smilie

This one does work perfect.
Nice output. Works perfectly on my test dir, so I did a run on my collection... I discovered I've really a lot of retagging to do on mp3. Smilie
I hope my flac collection is in better condition. Smilie

Oh... ik overlooked something in the flac specs you posted. The tags to look for are:
Code:
TITLE
ARTIST
ALBUM
TRACKNUMBER

example output:
Code:
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 03.\ Sofa\ #1.flac 
TITLE=track 1
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
ALBUM=You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1, Disc 1
DATE=1988
TRACKNUMBER=03
GENRE=Rock
DESCRIPTION=Track 3
COMMENT=Track 3

DESCRIPTION is just the same as COMMENT. 'Track 3' is just filled in the comments. Has really nothing to do with the value of TRACKNUMBER.

And here is proof. I just changed the comments.
Code:
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 03.\ Sofa\ #1.flac 
TITLE=track 1
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
ALBUM=You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1, Disc 1
DATE=1988
TRACKNUMBER=03
GENRE=Rock
DESCRIPTION=Radoulov For President
COMMENT=Radoulov For President
