Group VS Work - Gdg - 15-08-2025 12:01
Hello everybody.
I have some boxset of jazz CD where a single CD fits two or more albums of the same Artist.
Using the "Group" tag (see here) and browsing "By folder" I can correctly see the boxset spanned into albums and inside each album, I find its own tracks.
Very very happy with this, but...
But I'm a JPLAY user, too, and JPLAY wants to see the "Work" tag, instead of the "Group" one, to split a CD into albums.
Now, following the relevant instruction on the JPLAY user giude page (here), I aliased the Group tag to Work, like this:
. aliasTags= Group:Work
then
. itemTags= Album,TrackNumber,Title,Work
Well... now it works fine with JPLAY, but not anymore with the native "By folder" mimimServer browsing...
I know, reason is:
"Any tags that are aliased in this way are no longer available by their original (source) names" (here)
So: any work around to show "Work" to JPLAY and "Group" to MinimServer, without cloning the Group tag to a Work tag?
I tried adding to "tagupdate.txt" the following:
@GROUP=GROUP
+WORK=GROUP
but no luck...
Many thanks for your help.

I am not sure why you don't want to clone the Group tag to a Work tag. This seems like the simplest solution. To do this, set the tagValue property to this:
Work.replace={Group}
This replaces any existing Work tag value. If you want to add the Group value without losing the original Work value (if any), use this:
Work.merge={Group}

with "... cloning the Group tag to a Work tag"
I meant: doing a "brutal" copy of the content of the Group tag of a track and paste it to the empty Work tag of the same track.

... and the Group tag works nicely even with album's tracks spanned on differents CD,
both minimServer's "By folder" browsing (fig.1)

or JPLAY's search (fig.2).

Thank you, Simon, you really did a great job!
