This is the commit I was thinking of it looks like we now prefer id3
tags over vorbis ones anyway so that probably isn't it.

Do you use .flac for the file extension? Is the 'Ignore ID3 tags'
setting on MythMusic's  'General Settings' page unchecked?

It would still be good to know that taglib can read the tags outside of
MythTV before we start to dig any further. They are part of the taglib
source in the examples folder.
http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html. Some distros like Gentoo
will compile and install them for you looks like your distro doesn't
unfortunately. Shouldn't be difficult to download the source that is
closest to what you have installed an compile the examples yourself.
Shouldn't have to install anything just run them from the source
directory after you have compiled them.
