There are no replies with a magic script, so possibly you would have to write your own. If I had your predicament, I would probably dump MD5 sum from "metaflac --show-md5-sum music.flac" and full file path for each of my files into 2 mysql tables and then use sql to produce copy statements using md5sum key on a left join. Much simpler than writing a perl script for example. Not exactly what you asked for, but at least an idea...
