It would really help to see the metadata from a track that MPD displays 
correctly and the metadata from an abcde ripped track that MPD does not 
display. Please show the out of the following:

For an abcde-ripped track that MPD does not display metadata: ffmpeg -i 
abcde-song.aiff


Then we can work out how to refine the abcde conf
