Multiple resolutions of the same album - chip - 17-07-2016 13:57
Hi All,
How does MinimServer handle the same album if I have copies in different resolutions?
Example:
Artist - Album Title - Format - Resolution
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - wav - 16b 44.1kHz
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - flac - 24b 192kHz
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - dsf - DSD64
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - dsf - DSD128
Will each copy show up as a separate album?
Can MinimServer show the resolution so I know which one I am playing?
Any ideas?
Chip

Not sure if they will show as different albums if all the names are the same. Just add after the album title (Hi Res) or similar and so long as each album has a different name they will all stay separate and you will be able to tell which is which, all under the same artist.
Minimserver wont recognise that they are different resolutions as it just looks at the tags.

If the tagged album names are the same, you can use a match filter (see this section) to prevent unintended album merging.
