Just look at all new releases for ShibayanRecords or look at my most recent open edits.

So I'm ripping and tagging from CDs. I've used MusicBrainz and Picard to get a nicely tag set of flac files and now I also want to make mp3 copies but I'm having trouble finding a sane way to make mp3s with equivalent tags. The "flac2mp3" type scripts I've found vary in quality but none of them create an mp3 as fully tagged as if I had just tagged the mp3 from scratch in Picard. I'm reading through the Mutagen docs and trying to script up a
flac to mp3 tag transplant but it seems like surely there has to already be a mature tool for this. Suggestions?

UltraFuzzy (IRC): I'm not aware of one. Most conversion tools have a limited set of tags they fully support and understand how to transform between formats. Everything else they usually just create tags with same name. When I was still converting from FLAC to MP3 I just retagged the resulting files with Picard.
I have fully switched to using Ogg Opus by now, which eliminates the issue, as it is all Vorbis tags
UltraFuzzy
hmmm... in that case, any good trick to fully automate Picard in a case like this where you already know exactly what you've got?
or did you go through the gui each time?

Went through the gui each time. I usually do this in one go for new releases I get: tag the flacs, convert to lossy and tag and store the results away. So I still have the release open in Picard anyway.
For my current conversion (to opus) I found actually a nice solution using the "Post Tagging Actions" plugin, which allows to run commands on the files. I have it call a script doing the conversion and then replacing the loaded file in Picard. Makes things pretty smooth for me.
The plugin is a bit rough, though. I hope we can integrate something like this directly into picard in the future :)
UltraFuzzy
oh that's actually a good suggestion, I'll check that plugin out

UltraFuzzy (IRC): If you are interested, this is the script I run: https://paste.sr.ht/~phw/89aa18250841d2b1456d82... . It assumes it needs to convert all flacs in a folder. The magic is the call to 'picard -e REMOVE "$SOURCE_DIR/$f" -e LOAD "$DEST_FILE"', where it removes the old file from picard and loads the new one. But this only works that smoothly because the MBID tags are already properly set. That's one
of the parts the FLAC to MP3 conversion likely needs more work.

Thanks. I was having trouble getting the command line commands working (other than SHOW, which was just rubbing my failure in). Always handy to have a known working foothold.
