But isn’t that actually a bug in oggenc (at least the error message is misleading)?

Thanks for sharing. That is definitely a better solution. I don’t care about the extra dependency, either. And I have id3v2 installed anyway. Luckily all my problem-FLACs are long gone, but I think it’s time to update the script anyway.

Hello, and thanks for this information.

I solved the problem without any decoding/encondig this way:

metaflac --export-tags-to="${FLAC}.meta" "${FLAC}"
id3v2 --delete-all "${FLAC}"
metaflac --import-tags-from="${FLAC}.meta" "${FLAC}"
rm "${FLAC}.meta"

Yes, there’s an extra dependency, but I think it’s worth.

Regards,
Norberto

Thanks a lot. I hope I can work on it a bit next month. If you find anything you might think should be added, I am always happy to see what others might need/want and how/for what they use it.

Hey, I tried out your script and it works great. Thanks a bunch for doing this!
