Sorry for the late reply - I don't follow the General list regularly any
more: too much traffic.

flac3mp3 copies flac tags (vorbis comments) to mp3 tags (id3v2).

It currently has a set of tags that it knows about:

our %MP3frames = (
    'ALBUM'                   => 'TALB',
    'ARTIST'                  => 'TPE1',
    'COMMENT'                 => 'COMM',
    'DATE'                    => 'TYER',
    'GENRE'                   => 'TCON',
    'TITLE'                   => 'TIT2',
    'TRACKNUMBER'             => 'TRCK',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID'     => 'TXXX',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMSTATUS' => 'TXXX',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE'   => 'TXXX',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID'    => 'TXXX',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME'    => 'TXXX',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID'     => 'UFID',
    'MUSICBRAINZ_TRMID'       => 'TXXX',
#    'REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK'   => 'TXXX',
#    'REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN'   => 'TXXX',
#    'REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK'   => 'TXXX',
#    'REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN'   => 'TXXX',
);


As you can see, DISCNUMBER is not included, which is a bit of an
oversight since I too use DISCNUMBER in my flac files.

All that is required to add DISCNUMBER is to add the following line to
the above declaration:

    'DISCNUMBER'             => 'TPOS',

(Assuming that 'TPOS' is the ID3v2 tag that corresponds to the Vorbis
Comment 'DISCNUMBER')

I really must do some work on flac2mp3 - it's been months since I've had
time to look at it.
