First thing I'd do if I were you would be to make a copy of my Beethoven directory so I could play with it without losing any real data. Point slimserver just at this test directory - it means you can do a full rescan as often as you like without having to wait around. First, how many flac files are there, really? Use the Find function of Windows explorer to get a definitive answer. Look to see if there are some files in that Beethoven directory which have a different extension than .flac Next, have a look in the tags: you say they are "proper" but there is a good chance that there is something wrong. Load up the entire directory into mp3tag and sort the tracks in various ways, looking for inconsistencies. Make sure you are looking at ALL the tags, not just the ones that show up in the default columns. (right click a group tracks, select "Tags"). The version of slimserver you're using shouldn't, AFAIK, be suffering from the "COMPOSER" bug but since you mention this is only happening for classical music I guess its possible... if you have COMPOSER tags, rename them to something else using mp3tag. If none of that leads to any bright ideas then post back here with a full listing of the tag set for a sample track...
