Updated for a little more interactivity and direct call of commands because python can do it :) thank you @Theldus for the amazing prior work, hope you don't mind me modifying this script.

Hi @MadMcCrow, thanks for the compliments, but all the credits must go to @bancek, who did all the hard work. My script (which is a fork, original here) only modifies two lines of code to work with FLAC files.
