I like to putter around with bash scripts. I've written up a 146-line
script (83 lines of script plus 63 lines of comments) that handles
things to *MY* specs for *MY* needs. It processes .inf and .wav files
in a directory, creating flac files in a flac subdirectory. I haven't
tested it under all conditions, but it tries to handle...
* Check for a "flac" subdirectory; create one if it doesn't already exist
* If "Tracktitle" field is empty, bail out.
* If "Tracktitle" field contains a slash ("/"), assume that the artist's
name is to the left of the slash, and the song name is on the right
side of the slash.
* If "Tracktitle" field is non-empty, but doesn't contain a "/", assume
that it only has the title.
- Get the artist name from the "Performer" field.
- If "Performer" field is empty, use "Albumperformer" field.
- If both are empty, set artist name to "Unknown".
* The flac files are created in the "flac" subdirectory
