Convert iTunes MP3 podcasts to normal songs

Not that I wouldn't want an automated solution to podcast conversion, but I take a much simpler route:

1) Convert the podcast track's ID3 tag to v1.1.
2) Delete the track from the library.
3) Re-import and convert tags back to current ID3 version.

I'm sure some other tag info is lost in the process, but I have somehow survived.
