Flac reads tags just fine for me. There was a compatibility issue with some versions of the flac library which I fixed. Try this snapshot:
cmus.tar.gz
I blogged it
Hey there, just wanted to let you know that you've been blogged! I just posted part 1 of what I hope will be a 2 or 3 part series on getting started with cmus. Check it out! (guerrillatech.wordpres...)

flac tags
Not reading flac tags here. Using version 2.2.0-1 Ubuntu package. Is it just me?
btw, this is a great program. I installed it on my server when I was upgrading my desktop and couldn't use Amarok. That was two weeks ago, and I haven't reinstalled Amarok yet :) Five stars!
