Hey.
Awesome game, but there's a bug with tracks encoded in Ogg container: the game thinks ReplayGain field is an album title.

Oh crap, can you give us some more details???

What kind of details do you require? :)
I had the issue with all of my ogg vorbis files (since I do store ReplayGain data for all of them after ripping). And the game displays album replaygain as an album title both in-game and in tracklist as a filtering parameter. So, for example, this is an example of what I get at the beginning and at the end of a song:
The Glitch Mob
Animus Vox
-8.17 dB

And I'm pretty sure, that last tag should be the album one.

I think it's because applying album replaygain tags inserts these two tags into container description:
REPLAYGAIN_ALBUMGAIN
REPLAYGAIN_ALBUMPEAK
I've seen one of them as an album title for most of my Ogg Vorbis tracks. It can be different though: part of my tracks have peak as an album title, another part does so with gain. I believe it is so because of both of them have this ALBUM word as a part of the title.
Here is ogginfo output of the file I'm using as an example:

Yeah, wow, ok... this is on the bug list for sure.

Sorry about this!

Nothing to be sorry about. Bugs happen. Glad to help you find and hopefully fix a bug. :)

Yes, THANK YOU for helping me find it! I THINK I have it...

BTW, I believe FLAC files will do the same thing. If anyone wants to verify, that would be awesome (it did it on my end).

Gives an album title of 0.99893188

EDIT:
Assuming it's not the lower-case bug...

Hey guys, yeah, dangit, this is an entirely new (and really stupid) bug for both Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC. Thanks for verifying this!

I'll put this on our bug list... arg!

I'm having trouble with my ogg tracks too. I use MediaMonkey 4. Most of my tracks were tagged under MediaMonkey 2 or 3. I also verified that the tracks I'm looking at in Symphony are properly tagged in MediaMonkey. Symphony is using the Album Artist instead of the Track Artist. This is a problem when it's a soundtrack album where every track is by a different artist. For example, my Beverly's Hill Cop album lists every song by 'Various Artists'. The second error I have, I'm not sure what's happening. If I use any filter at all, none of my Queen songs or albums show up in the list. However, when I start the game, I can find all of these songs listed under their album titles.
