If I rip a compilation album with multiple artists, xld will save it to numerous folders under each artist.Apart from editing the metadata on XLD to overwrite artists as "various" and then view the album as a single album on minimserver, but without the artist listed, is there a way to tweak minimserver to view as a single album, with each different artisl listed beside each track?

Many Thanks.

You have two options:

1) Configure XLD to rip the whole album to a single folder. (I don't know if this is easy, or possible.)

2) Tag all the album tracks with the same AlbumArtist value ('Various' would be OK), and change the mergeFolderAlbums property on the MinimServer advanced properties page from false to true. Don't change the existing Artist tags for the tracks. If you do this, MinimServer will merge all the tracks from different folders into a single album with an overall album artist of 'Various', and you'll also see the correct artist for each track.
