The former since they are flac or mp3 files.  Question is why not?

If the files were shown in 2.1.7, they should also be shown in 2.1.8, as there were only very minor changes between 2.1.8 and 2.1.7 regarding FLAC handling. My music library is in FLAC format, with a few MP3s, so they are the most tested formats.

To debug, you can first check whether EasyTAG is linked against the FLAC library, to make sure that FLAC support is enabled. To do this, run "ldd" on the "easytag binary:

ldd /usr/bin/easytag

You should see a list of libraries. Look for libFLAC.so.8 (the number may be different for you, but there should still be a line containing libFLAC). If you have such a line, FLAC support is enabled.

If FLAC support is enabled and the files are still not shown, you will need to debug the problem, probably by stepping through the code using a debugger such as GDB. This is outside of the scope of what I can do remotely, at least by mailing list, so I suggest that if you need help with this, contact me on IRC (amigadave on freenode or irc.gnome.org) and I can walk you through the necessary steps.
