Here's how I would do what you are wanting with J River Media Center or
MediaJukebox (MC=Media Center, but MediaJukebox is free and should be
identical):
- Import all music into J River so it reads the tags into its
database.
- Turn off auto-import while you are working on this.
- Search for duplicates and flag them with a custom database-only
field, just so they can be easily identified while you are working on
this.
- Select the MP3's where you have a higher quality FLAC to replace
them with.
- Convert them to FLAC (This is temporary; it's so you have a
matching file name in MC's database for when you overwrite the files
in the next step.)
- Now--OUTSIDE of MC--copy the hi-quality FLAC over the converted
MP3 FLAC using the identical file name.
- Go back into MC, select all the files you replaced, and do the
command "Update tags from library." This will update the tags for
what they really are and not what they were copied from.
- On the same files, do the command "Update Library from tags." This
will update MC with the proper bitrate for the higher quality files.
(Be sure to do these last 2 steps in that order.)
- Re-run audio analysis on all the files (Optional).
It's not entirely automated, but I don't think it would take very long.
