mpd does not read metadata correctly

Hello! This is my first time with MPD. I really liked how the client Euphonica looked like, so I decided to give it a try.

I have few albums that aren't sorted correctly. Euphonica does not display correct release date or does not show it at all. I've tagged them correctly with Ear Tag, double checked with another MP3 tagger (puddletag). This isn't Euphonica's fault, because i've tried ncmpcpp and it also doesn't show the correct metadata.

Here's what I see in the tagger:

As shown below some of these show (unknown artist). Also, everything that's past MG Ultra by Machine Girl shows no release date, and is not sorted correctly:

As shown below, there's no release date.

rgain3 replacement?

This is only mpd adjacent: I've been using the collectiongain module of rgain3 for years now...and it's probably been unmaintained that entire time. I just upgraded to python 3.14 and now it won't run. I actually managed to pin setuptools<82 and it started but then it gave me another set of errors around gstreamer.

What's everyone using for replay gain/collection gain for their music collection so that mpd's gain functionality has something to work with? It's made a big difference in my collection, especially with the large number of bootlegs I have.

mpd on a raspberrypi

I am trying to configure mpd such that it plays on my computer the music stored on my raspberrypi, to which I have access via my local network. Do you have any recommendation or documentation where to start? I have to mention that I have no training in computer science. I run these kind of projects during my free time.

host_permissions for local subnet?

on linux

>local_permissions may be used to assign other permissions to clients connecting on a local socket.

>host_permissions may be used to assign permissions to clients with a certain IP address.

So it appears that `local_permissions` apply ONLY if I'm connecting via UDS... which means if I'm connecting via TCP from the localhost, they don't apply...however, this isn't really an issue since UDS is always preferred.

Question is, if I want to define `host_permissions`, for everything on the local LAN without specifying individual IP addresses, e.g., `192.168.1.*` or `192.168.1.0/24` (neither of which work in practice)?

I would prefer not to do this via `hosts`, DNS resolution, etc. but rather keep it constrained to MPD.
