I’d do things in stages.
First, I’d fix the multiple tag problem. Off the top of my head, it should be relatively easy to write a script to strip away the MP3 tags leaving just a FLAC file with metadata in a Vorbis Comment block. From there it’s trivial to run thru your library in batch mode. Back up first!
From what I’ve read, Bliss is a great program. I think, though, for making cookie-cutter changes to specific metadata items, I’d write my own program using, say, the Python Mutagen module (cuz I like Python) or even just build a bash script calling on metaFLAC to do the tag work.
I’d rather pound nails in my head than use a GUI-based program to fix more than a few albums manually.
ETA - the great thing about scripts is you can easily make changes (you changed your plan or you found a mistake) and rerun as necessary.

Kent
