hmmm, it seems to me that in this particular case, and _because there
are no vorbis comments at all_ in that flac file, Slimserver is taking
your ID3 tags into account (like a safe net).
You can try two things:
1) delete the vorbis section in your Eroica flac file
metaflac --remove --block_number=2 \(01\)\ Beethoven\ -\ \ Eroica\ -\
1\ Allegro\ con\ brio\ -\ Karajan\ -\ Berliner\ Philharmoniker.flac
if what I guessed earlier is right, then you will get the values in
your id3 tags when you rescan and look at them fmor Slimserver...
or
2) convert all your ID3 to VORBIS comments inside the flac files. This
is the right thing to do ( in my opinion). According to the FLAC
official page:
============================================================
What kinds of tags does FLAC support?
FLAC has it's own native tagging system which is identical to that of
Vorbis. They are called alternately "FLAC tags" and "Vorbis comments".
It is the only tagging system required and guaranteed to be supported
by FLAC implementations.
Out of convenience, the reference decoder knows how to skip ID3 tags so
that they don't interfere with decoding. But you should not expect any
tags beside FLAC tags to be supported in applications; some
implementations may not even be able to decode a FLAC file with ID3
tags.
