I'm a complete newbee in the archaic world of tagging as proven by my already seeing so much (about 2 days) of my precious time going down the drain. I have scanned 40+ pages of this support forum to avoid littering this place with such a basic Q as this but nowhere have I found a clear answer to this. So excuse me but I'm in desperate need of information.
I have in excess of 250 GB of flacs (1.1.4) which I need to tag ONLY for use with slimserver and stream to my Transporter. So metadata contained in the form of Vorbis comments is all I need if I got this right? But I find no no choice in the pref panel for tags like Vorbis comments!
For an absolute newbee this _may_ not be obvious though it may strike down as a surprise for even less experienced users but as such equipped with some reality distortion.
From Florians reply to one post I understand that for flac only Vorbis comments are supported. Does this mean that tagging files automatically end up as Vorbis c:s so I wont have to worry about it or what choices/settings will I have to do in advance?

Yes. There are no tag settings for flacs.

You don't need to worry about it! Mp3tag uses automaticly the FLAC Vorbis Comment tag.
