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

NAME
Audio::File - Audio file abstraction library SYNOPSIS
use Audio::File; my $file = Audio::File->new( "foo.bar" ); print "The ". $file->type() ."-file ". $file->name ." is ". int $file->audio_properties->length() ." seconds long. "; print "It's interpreted by ". $file->tag->artist() ." and called ". $file->tag->title() ". "; DESCRIPTION
Audio::File abstracts a single audio file, independant of its format. Using this module you can access a files meta-info like title, album, etc. as well as the files audio-properties like its length and bitrate. Currently only the formats flac, ogg vorbis and mp3 are supported, but support for other formats may be easily added. METHODS
new $file = Audio::File->new( "foobar.flac" ); Constructor. It takes the filename of the your audio file as its only argument and returns an instance of Audio::File::${Type} if the corresponding file type is supported. The file type will be determined using the file extension. Currently flac, ogg and mp3 are supported but new formats may be added easily by creating a Audio::File::${Type} that inherits from Audio::File::Type, which is the base class for all file type classes. The methods and behaviour of the returned are documented in Audio::File::Type. TODO
o Add possibility to change file and its tags. o better (easier) interface? o user shouldn't be forced to use Audio::File if he only want's the files tag or audio properties. o Add possibility to access raw audio data (Audio::File::Data) That could be done via Audio::Data or equivalent. SEE ALSO
