What tags does MinimServer support?

Easily handled by a single puddletag action to split artist, genre, style & mood tags so that each has multiple entries where appropriate.

This would be quite a bit of work.

I'll do without year - if I get desperate I'll do write an action in puddletag to write my dates to a different tag as backup and just write the rightmost four digits to the date tag.

Quote:MinimServer doesn't have a "main" vs. "appearing" artist distinction, but you can achieve a similar result by tagging the main artist of all your albums with albumartist. In this case, the Artist index would show the main artists only, and the All Artists index would show the appearing artists.

Would you consider enhancing it so that it could? An ideal view of an artist's work in one's library would look something like this:

Albums released by artist:
a
b
c
d

Albums on which artist guests/appears:
e
f
g
h

Internally the distinction is the artist name appearing in albumartist vs just in artist. This way if one wants to distinguish, all that's required from tagging is that you set albumartist wherever the album is released by the artist. Any occurrence of an artist's name in an artist tag where the artist name is not also in the albumartist tag means the artist is guesting, whether it be on a compilation or another artist's album.

Quote:You're describing exactly how MinimServer works! You can filter the current selection using any tags in that selection. If the selection contains tags that are shared by all items in the selection (and therefore wouldn't perform any filtering), MinimServer doesn't show those tags.

Does MinimServer enable one to select multiple entries in a given criteria e.g. two or more selected genres as a filter?
