MinimServer can read and serve this metadata so why not just transcode your FLACs to WAV instead then you wouldn't need MinimServer to do the transcoding.

From a MinimServer perspective, ID3 tagging is not more powerful than FLAC/Vorbis tagging because MinimServer is reading a subset of ID3 tags (see this section) and mapping them internally to FLAC/Vorbis tags. ID3 tagging is more complex than FLAC/Vorbis tagging but this isn't necessarily a good thing (in my opinion).
