I tried

tagCustom=Composer.displayRole={artist}

and I tried

tagCustom=Composer.displayRole={author}

and nothing changed about the display on my control point---I still do not see the composer there. (I don't have do do something special to get changes to take effect, do I? I tried restarting the server.)

This setting doesn't add composer information to the artist display value. It sends the composer information as a separate XML tag. Some control points can display this composer information and others can't. Which control point is it?

I'm using the Olive ONE.

Quote:If you want to add composer information to the artist value displayed by the control point, you can add the following to the tagFormat property:

Artist.displayFormat={$composer^^: $artist}

The will display the artist value as one of the following:

composer-name: artist-name (if there is a Composer tag)
artist-name (if there is no Composer tag)

This is working. Thanks.
