Has anyone found a solution?
I'm so pumped that N900 supports FLAC - no reconverting!
But, it looks like it can't read thew ID3 tags they contain - so I'm getting a huge category of "Unknown song/artist". It's a drag!
Am I missing some better way to tag flac, or is it the N900's player's fault"
Is there an alternative to the default player, BTW? I'm ot articularly thrilled with it, prety limited functionality.

You need to strip the ID3 tags from the FLAC files altogether, then use a proper tag editor which recognises FLAC files and writes the correct OGG format tags to them (this is entirely different from containing the FLAC in an OGG container). I use "The Godfather" on Windows, and metaflac on Linux.

I find this file through Media Player on my n900 and it says unknown title/artist. I have been at this for a few days now and its driving me crazy, what am i doing wrong?

I've just checked and it works fine for me. I've also got the separate ogg-decoders 1.06-rc1 installed, so it's worth trying installing that.

Yes, PR1.1 with Extra Decoders Support v0.3 and Ogg Support v1.06-rc1. All the apps were reinstalled since PR1.1 (I had to reflash) so that could affect things as well.

I had the same issue with tags not being read or even flacs picked up by the media player. Can confirm Ogg Support v1.06-rc1 fixes this though 
Edit: Forgot to mention, embedded jpg artwork in the flacs is not being picked up in media player. Anyone else experiencing this?

Im holding off on a 16gb card, will wait for a good stable 32gb card unless price is out of this world.
