+===== Encoding MP3s =====
+While this is about transcoding from FLAC to MP3, the same command should do
+for about any supported source format:
+  ffmpeg -i input.flac -q:a 0 -map a output.mp3
+By default, ffmpeg will write an ID3 version 2.4 section based on FLAC tags.
+Though since hardly any ID3-related tool seems to support them, it is advisable
+to pass ''-id3v2_version 3'' so version 2.3 is being used. To increase
+compatibility, ''-write_id3v1 1'' enables additional ID3 version 1 tags.
