On the matter of tagging FLAC files:
I don't recall if I ever found a convenient way to mass-edit FLAC files to remove an ID3V2 tag and, if necessary, write the same metadata into a VORBIS COMMENT block. I also don't know what useful Tagging tools besides Mp3tag exist for MacOS. I work in Linux and there are quite a few choices (I run the Windows Mp3tag.exe in PlayOnLinux/Wine). When I was still ripping CDs I found MusicBrainz Picard to be useful for tagging all the tracks in an album.
If I had to fix a lot of mis-tagged FLAC files today, I'd probably first write a Python program to automate the process, taking advantage of the wonderful Mutagen module.
You may find this old thread on the "MP3TAG Community" board useful if you choose to use Mp3tag on a file-by-file basis: Removing ID3 tags from FLAC files.
Regards,
Kent
