I’m using mt-daapd-0.2.4 on my home server running Gentoo. I can connect to my server and see all of my music in tunesbrowser (mp3 only), banshee and rhythmbox (FLAC and mp3).
The FLAC files don’t have any tags, according to banshee and rhythmbox. I’ve verified that all of my files have the correct tags in Vorbis format. Here’s an example of the tagging structure of my music:

METADATA block #3
type: 1 (PADDING)
is last: true
length: 3488I copied a few files over to my laptop, and banshee/rhythmbox both read the tags correctly. This leads me to believe (correctly, I hope) that mt-daapd isn’t reading the vorbis tags.
In the interest of being thorough, I transcoded an album in FLAC format into Vorbis in an ogg container with the same tags with
oggenc -q3 *.flacand reloaded mt-daapd.
The album showed up correctly, with the appropriate tags and song lengths for all files therein.
What’s going on?
0.2.4 doesn’t support transcoding or metadata retreival for anything other than aac or mp3.
Gentoo has a more recent version in portage.
