Check the contents of the $? variable immediately after executing
mplayer2. The convention is that 0 means success and >0 means error.

According to mp_core.h
<http://git.mplayer2.org/mplayer2/tree/mp_core.h#n63>, 0 mean success, 1
means quit (probably that the user quit playing), 2 means EOF (end of
file, but probably unexpected) and 3 means error.

Try pacpl <http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pacpl>. "pacpl
--to flac YourFile.ape", for example, should convert the file while
preserving the tagging information.
