Text encoding conversion

| Hi,
I am creating a script to convert all the .ogg files I have from my CDs
to .m4a. The problem I have is that flac (the encoder I use for the
m4a) is not accepting utf-8 in its command line for the tags, when the
ogg tags are often in utf-8 :/
For now, I had to create a small Python script to convert the encoding
of the strings, but I was wondering if it was possible to do so with
existing commands (or builtins in some shell ?). For info, I am using
zsh as shell.
Thanks,
Pierre

Well, since nobody has replied (and I wonder if you have
not already found or created a solution?), here is perhaps
a few resources for you to investigate:
