Two values of Albumtitle would be nice - mminga - 17-09-2023 15:38
I want to have two alternative titles, as it is in discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/release/19214767-Cash-Unearthed
One title should show the Box Set, the other should show the Dics Tiltle.
But it does not work, see also here:
https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=4958&highlight=conflicting+ALBUM+tag+value
My wish would be, that the server could do it in the same manner as in Genre, Artist, or Country.
Is there a reason why it is not possible?
Thanks in advance for an answer.

You can use DISCSUBTITLE tag as described here

The internal design of MInimServer allows an item (track or group) to belong either to a single album or to no album. Allowing an item to belong to multiple albums would be a major change.
As DISCSUBTITLE is already supported by MinimServer, this is the recommended solution.
In the future, it is likely that ALBUMGROUP will also be supported (see this post), which would provide another way of doing this.

OK, I see, my wish:
The DISCSUBTITLE should be parallel to Album
I tried in aliasTags
Code:
DISCSUBTITLE:ALBUMThanks for your hints.

That’s wrong.
In that way you’re just creating an alias for the Album tag (ie like as you rename Album in DISCSUBTITLE)
You need to set the Album tag as the box name and the DISCSUBTITLE tag as the different sections of the box, one for each section
RE: Two values of Albumtitle would be nice - stefano_mbp - 18-09-2023 07:50
… and this is an example of what you can achieve using DISCSUBTITLE tag defining it in indexTag property
Here is the album with its indexes

and here all the album subtitles (DISCSUBTITLE)
[attachment=3034]

Thanks for the hint, but my wish ist not to create an new structure, I want a "merged" album list with both values. I do not want/need too complex lists, I prefer flat structures.
I tried the following:
Code:
Album.merge={Discsubtitle}Code:
Warning: conflicting ALBUM tag value Unearthed Volume 1 (Who's Gonna Cry) ignored for file Johnny Cash - Unearthed 1 - Who's Gonna CryRE: Two values of Albumtitle would be nice - stefano_mbp - 18-09-2023 17:34
You could try to use indexFormat in tagFormat property (Advanced):
Album.indexFormat={$Album$DISCSUBTITLE}
in this way you concatenate Album and DISCSUBTITLE
RE: Two values of Albumtitle would be nice - simoncn - 18-09-2023 17:45
You could do the following:
1) Add DISCSUBTITLE tags to your files in addition to ALBUM tags, as suggested by stefano_mbp
2) Add a tag name AlbumTitle to the indexTags property
3) Add the following to the tagValue property: AlbumTitle.merge={Album, DiscSubtitle}
After restarting MinimServer, you will see a new index AlbumTitle containing a mixture of top-level album sets and individual album names.

Thank you again, but it does not work.
Code:
Incorrect tag 'Album' for option 'indexFormat' in property 'tagFormat'Quote: No tag would be added if the item already has a WorkByTitle tag. This limitation doesn't apply to the Artist tag.https://minimserver.com/ug-library.html#Index%20tag%20formatting
If there is no way, it can live with it.
