I had the same problem when ripping my CD collection as mp3. I had to go
afterwards and edit all tags by hand with Easytag.

When I chose as target ogg format, all albums and artists were
recognised. Not the genre though, and I left it as unknown being too
lazy to cange that.

Not sure why is this, I didn't dig further because I started to like ogg
more than mp3, ogg sounds better in full ear headphones.
