I've fixed the tagging errors but I don't know what the "Warning: ID3v2 APIC" and "Error: ID3v2 'ÿPic'" messages want me to correct.

In 0.8.2, there was a check for NUL (0x00) characters in tag values. These values are illegal because the UPnP protocol doesn't allow them to be sent to the control point. If a NUL character was found, it was removed from the tag value and a warning messge was shown in the log.

A problem was reported recently with other illegal characters such as 0x02 (see this post). MinimServer 0.8.3 checks for these characters as well. Unlike 0.8.2, it doesn't remove them from the tag value but instead ignores the tag value. This is a warning rather than an error, so the file is added to the library without the faulty tags.

It is possible that the code in MinimServer 0.8.3 that does this checking might be incorrectly detecting a problem even though the file is OK. When you looked at the INVOLVED_PEOPLE_LIST and ORIGDATE tags in the listed files, did you find anything that looked like an illegal character?

The APIC frame is "attached picture" (cover art). There is no frame named "ÿPic" and I suspect this file is corrupt in some way. Please upload this file to my FTP server so that I can take a look at it. I will send you a PM with the server details.
