Start with abcde (a better cd encoder). I know it can do ogg and mp3,
and I think it can do flac, or it can easily be extended to do flac.
It appears that version 2.2.3 does do flac.

Again, abcde should make this a lot easier. A lot of the work has been
done for you. Making things lowercase is merely an lc() away. Though I
think abcde is a bourne shell script, mostly.

I don't know how abcde would handle that. I think it converted � to ae,
but I cannot guarantee that.
