I tend to use commas or semi-colons to list multiple artists, getting into trouble with systems that like to turn these into line breaks. Again, multiple values in tags is a feature I have used, but is non-critical.

AlbumArtist has a number of special uses in MinimServer. A single value with semicolon separators (consistent across all tracks of an album) will be accepted by MinimServer but you might find it causes strange behaviour if you have the tracks of an album split across different folders and possibly in some other ways.

To avoid these problems, I would recommend that you use the aliasTags property to rename this tag to something else such as ExtraInfo. You can then use a tagFormat setting to get this information displayed by the renderer.

Quote:I chose Kinsky as a control point because it was at the top of the list on this web site. It seems fine when it works. If I cue up and play an album with a number of tracks, it stops after a few tracks. If I try switching from one track to another, the old track just keeps playing. I'm not sure if this is a render or control point issue.

Possibly a bit of both. Kinsky doesn't seem to work correctly with non-OpenHome renderers, and it isn't clear what's causing the problem.

The best control point for doing this is BubbleUPnP. You'll need to buy an Android device to run this if you don't already have one.
