Having more of a look at the debug output & code, it looks like the tags
are only compared if the source file is *not* newer than the dest file,
otherwise it leaps straight into the transcoding. This is the opposite
logic to my "pseudo-code" above.

I'm not quite sure I understand the thinking here. Shouldn't it be only
comparing tags if the source file is newer, not older?

Under normal conditions, the flac file would be created by
ripping/downloading, then flac2mp3 would be run to create the relevant
mp3 transcoded version. Therefore the default position is that the mp3
file will be newer than the flac one. If the flac file is newer, this
obviously means something has changed it since the last flac2mp3 run. I
would expect the most likely cause of this would be the tags have been
amended, so would suggest they should be compared under these
circumstances.

Am I getting hopelessly confused?

Cheers,

Richard
