Filter based on tag content

This will give you another similar-looking menu containing only the files you want to see.

Ok, that is how I was doing it now, and indeed works as a charm already.

Also, it also isn't possible currently to use tag formatting to produce a formatted value such as Performer1 [Instrument1], Performer2 [Instrument2]. The closest you can get is Performer1, Performer2 [Instrument1, Instrument2]. It might be possible to add this enhancement to the formatting language in the future.

The combination of the above enhancements should give you what you want. I will add them to my list of requested features to be considered for a future version in the medium to long term.

Thanks. It is only "nice to have" anyway.

Another nice to have in the synthetic concept would be to have an index tag populated based on logic on the path of the file. I have pop and classical music in different paths, and it would allow me to create a general "genre"-like tag containing "classical" and "pop" which at selection would allow me to have a cleaner further selection on composer/artist, genre, ... With the current solution, I guess I can obtain the same with the local "tag update" logic based on specific values of genre (I have no overlapping genres), or by setting up two MinimServers, each with their own index tag logic. (Or of course by storing it as a tag in the file itself )
