Note:  I'm using Gnome 2.x and XFCE, there might be some differences 
with Gnome 3

Right click on a flac file, choose Properties.

Click on Open With tab.

If your old script is in the list, find and Hightlight it, however, the 
'radio button' must not be selected.  (If it is, click on the radio 
button of another application, it doesn't matter what it is.).  When 
your old script is highlighted, but *not* the chosen default app, you 
should be able to press the "Remove" button, and it will be zapped.

(Anyone who works on gnome reading this??  I think the clever UI plan 
wasn't thought all the way through.)

Now Click on "Add" button.  Expand the "Use a Custom Command"  Type in 
the full path to your script (or use the Browse button to find it with a 
file browser.) Click the Add button when your done.  Your new script 
should now be in the list of applications associated with Flac File 
type.  Click on the radio button to make it the default.
