Some MP3 converters (*cough*-LAME), strip off and do not copy tags when converting an MP3 file.
For us lazy folks (besides harassing the LAME folks, which they might have reasons against doing it), it would only solve the issue for lame and not for any other converters...

This way, wouldn't have to -l on the old file, and retype the info into the new file.

Might also have an option to dump the info into a human and id3v2 readable form, that could be applied to a new file.
That could have the added benefit of a user editing the file first if they needed/wanted to make any changes (however unlikely
that might be).

Also, (I know -- more than one issue under a bug=bad, but this is only a suggestion -- upon giving no options but giving a valid filename w/tags, you might make the default action "-l" to list the tags present....might as well do something useful in the
default, simple case...:-)
