Thank you for the analysis. Based on my rudimentary understanding it appears that the value for the "comment" field in the tag contains an incorrect value which was not calculated following proper tagging rules. This leads me to question how many WAV files which Qobuz sells suffer from the same issue. I also wonder if there is a way for Minimserver to be able to "deal" which errors such as these. If only a small percentage of the millions of music files which Qobuz (and other sellers) provide have similar problems this creates a nightmare for the end user. Legitimately purchased WAV files will not be loaded by Minimserver and subsequently not be displayed by the control point. I guess I can now further appreciate the many comments which indicate a preference in the way FLACS files handle tagging when compared to WAV. In fact the same purchased file downloaded in FLAC did not present any problem.

I wonder if there is a program which will analyze and correct tagging errors so Minimserver does not hiccup. I use Metadatics to tag under Mac OS however I used to run MP3Tag when I used DbPoweramp on the Mac in a Virtual Machine under VMWareFusion. Since Spoon now has a working version of his program for Mac OS I no longer have the need to run VMWare and Windows - thank god.

The file is faulty and it is the responsibility of Qobuz to fix it. This is no different from any other faulty product you might have purchased from any vendor. If you report this to Qobuz with the information I have provided, Qobuz should be able to fix the problem and provide you with a correct download.

In general, it isn't possible for MinimServer to correct errors such as these. Instead, MinimServer is telling you about the fault and rejecting the faulty file to protect MinimServer from crashing when you access the faulty file. This is not a "hiccup" but a key feature of MinimServer as described in the section "Take control of your tagging" on this page.
