I've had problems figuring out how to tag my FLAC files. The gist of the
problem is that I can't find a list anywhere of the FLAC/Vorbis tags
that SlimServer recognizes. There is a link to such a page here:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?BeginnersGuideToTagging

(see the bottom, "SlimServer supported tags") 

But it's empty.

So I've made some educated guesses and have been testing them on a test
flac. I can't get SlimServer to recognize the album name, however - I've
used a tag called "ALBUM" but when I look at the file in SlimServer's
browser, it says the album is "No Album". I can get TITLE and ARTIST
and TRACKNUMBER to show up in SlimServer's file info page, but for some
reason I can't get the album tag right. I've tried "ALBUM" "Album"
"ALBUMNAME" to no avail - it always reports "No Album".

I'm using Solaris and the metaflac command to add the tag is

metaflac --add-tag=ALBUM=testalbum 01.flac

and metaflac --list shows that it is indeed being added to the file.

I've looked through the perl source for the server, and I found this
line in Slim/Formats/FLAC.pm:

my @tagNames = qw(ALBUM ARTIST BAND COMPOSER CONDUCTOR DISCNUMBER TITLE
TRACKNUMBER DATE);

which suggests that ALBUM should be recognized - but it's not. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
