They don't have any ID3 tags at the moment.

It's apparently possible to store ID3v2 tags in .flac files -- the reference decoder will skip them.

(Hmmm, wanders off to a shell prompt)

OK, this seems to work:

$ id3tag -2 -a "J.K. Rowling, read by Stephen Fry" \

    -s "The boy who lived" -A "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" \

    -t 01 -T 07 "01 - Chapter 1- The boy who lived.flac"

$ grep `flac -c -d "01 - Chapter 1- The boy who lived.flac" | md5sum` MD5SUMS

Shows that playback is unaffected.

$ for i in *.flac ; do \

    flac -c -d $i | lame -v ${i%.flac}.mp3 ; done

Gets you the MP3 file.

$ for i in *.flac ; do \

    id3cp $i ${i%.flac}.mp3 ; done

Copies the tags across -- except that there's a bug in the 3.7 version of ID3lib that makes this not work properly. It works OK with (what I think is) the 3.8.0-pre1 version.
