    I see your changes have gone live.

    Again, not offering to take over maintenance, but I did decide to 
look at the upstream revisions Dominik mentioned. There is an 
MP3Diags-unstable-1.5.02 version available. I was able to modify the 
previous SlackBuild by changing the package name to MP3Diags-unstable, 
the version number to 1.5.02, changing qmake to qmake-qt5, lrelease to 
lrelease-qt5, and finally in the copying stage changing README.TXT to 
README.md. At that point, the new version built, installed, and ran - 
and I uninstalled qt-4 to make sure.

    The MP3Diags-unstable name is hard-coded into the source, so my 
simple changes needed to use that for the package name. That meant 
'upgradepkg' did not recognize it as a replacement for the earlier 
install of MP3Diags, so I did a removepkg followed by an upgradepkg 
--install-new.

    There is probably a better way to handle the odd '-unstable' package 
name in the source, but at least this indicates that the basic source 
code is manageable.
