Could you post an example output from metaflac at least for two files: one to be printed and another one to be skipped?

---------- Post updated at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:20 PM ----------

Given your metaflac example above, the filename seem to be missing in the output, this means that we should process the files one by one, in order to get the name ...
This doesn't work yet. This is the output of a mp3 that should be detected, since the tracknumber isn't filled:
Code:
$ id3 -Rl alex\ roeka\ -\ 1999\ \ -\ wildernis/04\ -\ Alex\ Roeka\ -\ Help\ me\,\ ik\ ben\ echt.mp3 

Filename: alex roeka - 1999  - wildernis/04 - Alex Roeka - Help me, ik ben echt.mp3
Title: Help Me, Ik Ben Echt          
Artist: Alex Roeka                    
Album: Wildernis                     
Year:     
Genre: Other (12)

This FLAC is ok:
Code:
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 06.\ Diseases\ of\ The\ Band.flac 
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
TITLE=Diseases of The Band
ALBUM=You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1, Disc 1
DATE=1988
TRACKNUMBER=06
GENRE=Rock
COMMENT=Track 6

These FLAC's are not ok:
Code:
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 01.\ The\ Florida\ Airport\ Tape.flac 
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 02.\ Once\ Upon\ A\ Time.flac 
$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 03.\ Sofa\ #1.flac 
TITLE=track 1
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
ALBUM=You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1, Disc 1
DATE=1988
TRACKNUMBER=03
GENRE=Rock
DESCRIPTION=Track 3
COMMENT=Track 3

From track 1 only the artist is filled. Title, album and tracknumber are missing.
From track2 none of the tags is filled, so nothing is returned
Track 3 is titled 'track 1'.

findtags - find tags in Interchange catalogs and directories SYNOPSIS
findtags -a -d lib/UI findtags -a -d lib/UI -t -u findtags -a -u -t DESCRIPTION
Find tags in Interchange catalogs and directories -- intended to develop a list for TagInclude. WARNING: This is not 100%, for developing tag names from Variable definitions and other sources can fool it. If you include all directories, make sure you don't include documentation files or the usertags themselves. With the standard distribution, this should find just about all tags needed: findtags -a -d lib/UI To develop a TagInclude statement which excludes unused tags, try: findtags -a -d lib/UI -t -u If you don't want to use the UI, then do: findtags -a -u -t OPTIONS
-a Look in all catalogs. -c CAT Only look in catalog CAT. -d DIR1 DIR2 .... Look in given directories. -f FILE Use alternate interchange.cfg file FILE. -h Display help. -n Don't report system tags. -t Output suitable for TagInclude directive. -u Report unseen tags. -v Slightly verbose, report directories scanned. -x DIR1 DIR2 .... Exclude given directories from scanning. Default is session and tmp. perl v5.14.2 2012-01-23 FINDTAGS(1p)
