I've been using perl and PHP for years, but don't know much about vb script, so I could just be missing something...

I want to convert my audio collection, currently in FLAC format, to WMA Lossless so the metadata will be recognized by my Windows Media Center machine, and thus I won't have to keep two copies of everything.

I've successfully written a perl script which creates and executes a vb script (based on the samples on the website) to convert each track to mp3, accessing the mp3 options object to set the bitrate etc. I see that WMA is an option for ConversionType, but I don't see any way to access the settings for the codec.

Is it possible to script the conversion of FLAC files to WMA Lossless?

Thanks

You can manually do one conversion to wma, then those last settings will be used through scripting.
