Add vgm2flac with tag support (or something similar)

[sdsnatcher73]

Currently vgm2wav is already really nice, what would make things even better if it was possible to output to FLAC (or any other lossless format, conversion can be done afterwards) and that meta info from the vim file is written to the tags in the output file...

I might do vgm2flac when the VGMPlay rewrite (based on libvgm) is finished. Until then, you'll have to wait.

I think we could probably write a simple program that dumps specified tags to standard output. From there it would be quite easy to create a script that runs vgm2pcm and pipes to ffmpeg with the supplied Metadata. No need to write a separate vgm2xxx application for each file format.

That would work, I think whatever it is it should output to lossless with tag support. End users can take it from there ;)

Maybe an easy alternative to a separate tool would be write tags into WAV files. (using the INFO block)

Again, I won't do this by myself right now, but if anyone wants to have a try, I'll gladly accept pull requests.

I'll just reopen this so it stays a reminder for me, even though I won't solve it in this repo.

Well I made this https://github.com/Jocker666z/Various-scripts/blob/master/vgm2flac.sh

bash vgm2flac.sh /directory-with-vgm/

It's bash script for convert vgm to flac, with tag, peak normalization and test channel (stereo or mono).
Script need binaries of VGMPplay (https://github.com/vgmrips/vgmplay), vgm_tag (https://github.com/vgmrips/vgmtools), FFMPEG (https://ffmpeg.org/)

vgm_tag install:

git clone https://github.com/vgmrips/vgmtools
cd vgmtools
make vgm_tag
sudo cp vgm_tag /usr/local/bin/

Just for info, I made "a little" vgm2flac evolve -> https://github.com/Jocker666z/vgm2flac
