[arch-general] [OT] changing ripped music metadata from freeDB to MusicBrainz

Hi !

I have several ripped music CDs, and I just realized part of the metadata (I haven't looked at all of it) has the wrong track titles.  I think the issue came from using freeDB for getting the metadata information, and I'm wondering if there's a way to repopulate all of it (and more, like composer information) with MusicBrainz gathered metadata instead.  Is there a tool which would allow me to do the conversion?  I ripped the CDs into ogg vorbis, in case that helps identify the right tool...  Of course hopefully tools found on Arch, and it'd be better if they are command line ones, though a GUI one might do it as well if there's no other option...  Of course doing things recursively is a must, going ogg by ogg would take like forever, :)

Re-ripping would take way too long BTW, hopefully that's not the only option.

I'm sorry for the "off thread" question, but I really have no clue, neither have an idea where to ask...

Thanks a lot !
