Hi,
You can find a test file here
http://download.damagehead.com/samples/11%20The%20End.m4a.
The m4a file is AAC.
Through my investigation i figured that mpd uses ffmpeg to read tags
(atleast in this case), so i decided to find out what sort of tags
ffplay dumps and heres what is says:
--OUTPUT START
Metadata
major_brand : M4A
minor_version : 0
compatible_brands: M4A mp42isom
title : The End
author : Eddie Vedder
album : Backspacer
genre : Rock
track : 11
year : 2009-09
--OUTPUT END
ffplay does not display any artist, but instead prints the author,
which is what mpd is probably picking on.
Hope this helps...
Regards
~Sameer
