Hi all,

I am having to transcode many WMA files to Flac in order to use them with Music ip on my Logitech Squeezebox. Is it possible to write an action to copy certain fields from the existing WMA files to ther newly created Flac counterparts? ie: Cover art and custom fields which are not picked up during the conversion.

The location and file name is the same with the exception of the filename suffix:  
oldfile.WMA - newfile.Flac

Thanks,

Chris
