I'm writing a Windows VBS script to convert Monkey's Audio files into FLAC. I need to be able to extract the APE tags in the process, preferably with a command line tool that works something like Metaflac. Is there anything available?

If not, is there a command line APE->FLAC converter that can preserve the tags from the APE file? It must be a Windows command line (console) application so that I can script it. I know that I can use dbPowerAmp, or foobar2000, or some combination of other GUI tools, but I don't believe any are suitable for calling from a script.

Yes, Case's TAG can do this. I use Neil Popham's version.

Latest version can be found here.

The site quoted above is no longer updated. When I moved from Freeserve to Blue Yonder I thought they would take that site down. sad.gif

The URL in my sig will always be the current site. I actually have the domain http://www.synthetic-soul.co.uk/ now, but haven't got around to migrating (the design template is up though).
