Thanks to all for the great suggestions, both for alternate conversion tools
and for Phillip's suggestion to fix the script.
I'm setting up a large FLAC -> OGG batch test to try these recommendations.
Just to make sure I'm clear about the script tweak ...
The original (prettyTrack=`printf "%02d" $track`) is *supposed to* use the
"%02d" formatting of printf to give a string with two digit numbers--
theoretically, a leading zero if needed.
For some reason, the output from metaflac gets interpreted by printf as octal
with track numbers 08 and 09.
The suggested:
> prettyTrack="00$track"
> prettyTrack="${prettyTrack: -2}"
makes a string of "00x" in line 1 (where x is the current track)
then line 2 takes just the right-most 2 characters of the string, yes?
