Tagging and Sorting for Multiple Artists

Before I added the sort tags to the properties there were no errors in the log. Last night I also upgraded to QNAP MinimServer-0.8.3-x86 and MinimWatch 0.8.3a.

If you look at the first 2 items in the log there are no multiple tags. All tags in these files appear the same as the other files for those albums. I tried editing the tags in MP3tag in case there was something wrong. I saved the files and restarted Minimserver with startupScan set to full, but the errors persist.

The tracks still appear in my control point (Krell ipad app for Connect) so it's not killing anything. I'd really just like to get to the bottom of what is causing the error.

Thanks, Kel

These "Custom value conflict" messages mean that you have specified different sort values for the same tag value.

It's probably best to start with one specific case and debug the problem. The first message is:

Warning: custom value conflict for ALBUMARTIST tag 'Fitz & the Tantrums' in file Fitz & the Tantrums/More Than Just A Dream (Deluxe)/10 Fitz & the Tantrums - The End.flac

What is the value of the Album Artist Sort tag in this file?

If you look at all your other files with an ALBUMARTIST value of 'Fitz & the Tantrums', you should find that one or more of these files has an Album Artist Sort tag with some other value. This is the value conflict that is being reported.
