Id3 tags are busting your flac party (especially with acxi/oggenc choking with ERROR: Input file [...] is not a supported format)? Just grab yourself a copy of id3v2 and run it like

Gimp 2.8 has been out for a couple of days and I had the chance to use it a little bit. Everybody in the scene seems to be awestruck by the single window mode and I approve, it is sweet. But there are a couple of new features that …
