Retain tags during conversion #1

Closed chhh closed 7 years ago

Great tool, thanks! It would be very useful if it could retain at least artist and title tags when converting e.g. from FLAC to MP3. I guess that's because FLAC to MP3 is a two step conversion. But as you're already creating a temp file for the intermediate you might as well create an extra text temp file with song title and artist name to copy over to MP3.

Meta data was never a priority for me, and since each format has its own tagging scheme, adding such a functionality will complicate things, and I am not even sure it is doable with all the "nested" conversions FlicFlac handles.

If you have any information to the contrary, please share.
