You can try to export tags from flac, then iconv them and after all import it |
| 14 |
back. Will look like this: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. metaflac --export-tags-to=~/some_file.tags --no-utf8-convert track.flac |
| 17 |
2. iconv -f cp-1251 -t utf-8 ~/some_file.tags > ~/some_file_fixed.tags |
| 18 |
3. metaflac --remove-all-tags track.flac |
| 19 |
4. metaflac --import-tags-from=~/some_file_fixed.tags --no-utf8-convert |
| 20 |
track.flac |
| 21 |
