 After ripping/encoding to FLAC via MythMusic I was unable to play the
 songs which were ripped/encoded.  I managed to determine the issue, and
 fix it so I am able to play the songs, however I believe this is a bug.  I
 am going to describe the situation and the steps I took, which should have
 fixed the issue, and what I ended up having to do to get the music
 working.

 Situation - I originally had the same CD ripped/encoded to OGG and have
 been converting my music to FLAC.  MythMusic was able to play the OGG
 files with no issues.  Initially I removed the original OGG files and
 directory.  Next I ripped/encoded the CD into FLAC.  Prior to performing
 the rip/encode, I was given the option to delete the original OGG files in
 the database and replace with the newly encoded files.  I chose the
 "Delete All" option.  After the rip/encode was complete, I attempted to
 add the files to the playlist and play them.  Adding the files to the
 playlist worked, however playing the files did not.  I tried deleting the
 entire music database and re-scanning for new music, which completed, but
 the files still would not play.  After checking the mythfrontend.log file,
 I noticed when adding the new FLAC files, I received the following error:

 mythfrontend[3713]: E CoreContext metadata.cpp:649 (Filename) Metadata:
 Asked to get the filename for a track but no file found: Dream Theater/A
 Dramatic Turn of Events/01 - On the Backs of Angels.flac

 The same error occurred for each song on the album, leading me to realize
 the "of" in "A Dramatic Turn of Events" did not match with the actual
 directory structure - the directory created by MythMusic during the
 rip/encode had an "Of" with an uppercase "O" instead of the lowercase.
 After changing the directory name to include the lowercase "o" instead of
 the upper, the songs played.  My best guess at this point is that the
 original OGG files I had in the database were located in a folder with a
 lowercase "o" instead of an uppercase "O" and for some reason the database
 was not entirely cleared out when I tried to delete the music database.
 The ID3 tags associated with the new FLAC files all have an uppercase "O"
 in the "Of" and reflect that in MythMusic when browsing or playing the
 files.
