OK, so I needed to do a batch transcode of my FLAC collection to MP3. 
No problem - I'll pick up Robin's flac2mp3 script and use that.

Ah, but.... in my FLAC files I use multiple tag values (mostly but not
exclusively for Genres) with a semicolon separator.  I'm pretty sure
that the players I intend to use won't like that in the mp3 files.  All
I want is the first value carried over to the mp3.

I'm not sure if there was a better way, but what I ended up doing was
patching the script file to add the line

$frameValue =~ s/;.*$//;

within the fixUpFrame routine (just after the line that I think strips
trailing blanks).  This has the effect of stripping all but the first
tag value, which was what I wanted.

Was there a better way?
