Command line. I just did:
ffmpeg -i test.flac test.mp3
I'm not sure how to check what the meta data in a flac is from the
command line (Amarok seems to read the data okay, so it seems to
be in the original flac). id3info doesn't find anything in the mp3
or ogg files created (and neither does vorbiscomment).
