My problem is flac files with no metadata. My goal is to insert the correct metadata and change the file names to something more informative. I have several directories of flac files. I don't know what program was used to rip them. It may have been on a PC or a Mac. It looks like they were ripped in 2006. Can anyone tell me if any currently available software can make sense of the files listed below? Thanks. -------------- Each directory has the same files: 01.flac 02.flac .... cover.bak cover.jpg info.xml info.xml.backup info.xml.bak infonew.xml infonew.xml.new prescrub2.xml rescrub3.xml titles.tmp
