Is there a way to copy all tags from one FLAC file to another seamlessly using a command-line tool?

Why is it that so much official documentation misses out on so friggin' many things that users are so very likely to need? Good question. – killermist Jun 21 '12 at 23:04

metaflac --export-tags-to=- input.flac | \
metaflac --remove-all-tags --import-tags-from=- output.flac

Possibly needs the --no-utf8-convert option, too.
