Suppose I have two folders, dir1 and dir2, with deveral files in each of them, and all the files in dir1 are named like "ExampleFileName.flac" and all the files in dir2 are named as "ExampleFileName.m4a" - basically their names are the same except the extension.

What I need to do is transfer all of the metadata for each of the files somehow - even though their codecs are different.

It would be great if I can do this via command line, but anything is appreciated.

Thank you.
