Sample size
i.e. choose from 16 or 24

Sample rate
i.e. choose from the range 44, 96, 192 or whatever they are

Questions:

1 - can this be achieved with minimserver and if so how?
2 - do I have to add a new tag or edit existing ones?

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

You can do this except that the first two browsing steps would be combined. The "special tag" #AudioData shows you the bit depth and sample rate as a single value such as 16/44100 or 24/192000. To see a browse menu choice for this, you need to add #AudioData to the indexTags property and restart MinimServer. The #AudioData information is taken from the audio data within the file and doesn't use the file's tags.

If you want to see the "audio data" menu choice as something other than #AudioData, you can rename it by changing the #AudioData indexTags setting to:

#AudioData:some other name

where "some other name" is the name you want to see for the menu choice.

I did not realise this was possible with MinimServer and created my own index tag "Resolution".
This also works fine but it takes some effort.
Doing it the MinimServer way saves me a lot of "retagging time"
I have attempted to rename #AudioData to an other name (it shows #AudioDate on the controlpoint but I do not like the # shown) but could not find out how to do this.
I did try to make an alias Tag (#AudioData:Resolution for instance) but MinimServer did not restart (syntax error).
How are you supposed to rename?
