Hi,

I'm a bit stuck with this python script. It's aim is to encode all flac files 
to wav and then to mp3. The only problem I have is to preserve the tags. The 
code works when there's just one flac file in a directory but fails for more. 
I can't see why the for loop fails here (flactags). 

The error thrown is: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'title' referenced 
before assignment

I don't understand why this isn't assigned. I suspect that self.wav2mp3 
doesn't wait for the first part to finish, but how to force it to wait?

Can somebody help please? 

The code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import glob
import sys

class program:
                
        def makewavdir(self):
                if os.path.isdir('wav'):
                        print "There already exists a directory named wav"
                        print "The album is probably already decoded to wav"
                else:
                        os.mkdir('wav')
                        
        def flac2wav(self):
                flacfiles = glob.glob('*flac')
                for flac in flacfiles:
                        print '*' * 70
                        print 'Starting decoding %s to wav' % flac
                        os.system('flac -d -s "%s" -o wav/"%s".wav' % (flac, 
flac[0:-5]))
                print '*' * 70
                print "All files are decoded to wav in the folder wav"
                print '*' * 70
                print
        
        def makemp3dir(self):
                if os.path.isdir('mp3'):
                        print "There already exists a directory named mp3"
                        print "The album is probably already encoded in mp3"
                else:
