Thanks for the support guys
my request may sound stupid, but since I'm still using Audirvana when computer is on, and Minimserver with point control on Ipad (most of the time I might confess, Lumin app), and I'm rating files via audirvana, and rating tag number are different depending on the format !
For a 5 stars items (rate tag), Audirvana is writing the Flac with 5, the Alac with 100, and the Mp3 with ,0,255
anyway, I still learning a lot on how Miniserver is working and I enjoy it
From what I've read, I could use tagupdate to rewrite files tag, and by doing so, I'm thinking of writing a .txt files with an albums list i went to displayed as favorites.
are you following me ?

Using tagUpdate for this should work. The .txt file would be something like:
@ALBUM=name of first album
+RATING=5
@ALBUM=name of second album
+RATING=3
@ALBUM=name of third album
+RATING=4
....etc.
or alternatively:
@ALBUM=name of first favourite album
+FAVOURITES=1
@ALBUM=name of second favourite album
+FAVOURITES=1
@ALBUM=name of third favourite album
+FAVOURITES=1
....etc.

Fantastic Simon,
it works perfectly
) 
I have now to figure out, how can I edit this text file from my iPad, and make it to write the file on my Synology Nas...so while listening to an album, a could ad it to my list on the fly, form the iPad.
I'd love, like all Minimserver user I guess, to have the possibility to edit favourites/rating, directly from the point control
