Hey folks,
I ask because I have soundtracks in Ogg format, and I want the same tracks with the same tags, but in MP3 format.
I have the MP3's made, but I don't much feel like manually inserting the tags a second time. Besides, I'll have to do this in the future many more times anyway, so if there was a solution I wanted to find out now

Thanks for your time and patience!

Try this
BonkEnc Program.

you could also use foobar2000 if you are on a windows OS.
You just load both soundtracks in the same playlist, and arrange them so that the ones with the tags you want to copy are first and the ones to which you want to copy them are next, both in the same order (tip, put them in folders called, "1" and "2" for example, so you can use arranging by file path).
Once you have that, just select all and use the "copy tags between files" right click command.
You'll be presented with all tags subject to be copied. The tags from the first half of the files are copyed to the second half. You might want to make sure your MP3's have idv2 tags before doing this.

easily done with foobar2000 or mp3tag.

I think he's not actually transcoding, but he made two different encodes from the same source one in vorbis and the second in mp3.
Since he already has the vorbis set tagged, he wants to "inject" those tags in the mp3 tags with some tool that offers reasonable level of automatism, since the objetive is not having to do it manually.
Well, at least that's what infer from what he said.

I have very similar problem. I have WavPack files with ID3/APE tags. Today I encode with oggdropXPd some these files to ogg, but tags did not "copy" from wavpack files to ogg, because ogg have different tags.
So is possible, that wv tags would "copy" when I encode wv file to ogg??
I really need advise, because I don't have time to edit tags these new ogg files.
Tnx for helping.

Well, my advise: don't use oggdropXPd (or any software) when it doesn't copy the tags.
BonkEnc and foobar2000 have already been mentioned, they will copy the tags to the new files.

In Foobar2000
Highlight the untagged OGG and tagged MP3, right click, tagging, copy info between files...done.

Just to clarify, yeah, I had made some WAV files and encoded them separately into first Ogg and then MP3 (I don't transcode, unless there is someday lossless transcoding

).
I'll give Foobar2K a go, thanks guys
