Proper Tagging and the Log File for Newbie

I wanted to play my DSD files last night but couldn't find them. May not be related to the tagging but I really going through some newbie pains. As a group we couldn't figure out how to play an album beginning to end!

The very fist offending files are errors in artist file name. How could it fix for instance "Willie & Lobo" or, "King and Taylor"? It seems that it only wants to see one artist name.

I've pulled up the log file and the MP3tag editor side by side. Now what? Should I batch run the entire catalog or try to pick'em off album by album?

Are the settings in MP3tag that relate the the structure of Minimserver?

Thanks for your help with these newbie questions.

It would be very helpful if you could post the exact message that you are seeing. Without this, I need to guess at what the message is, and I might guess wrong.

It sounds like you might be seeing a message telling you that you can't have multiple ALBUMARTIST tags (not ARTIST tags) for the same album. To fix this, you would need to have a single consistent ALBUMARTIST tag for all the tracks in the album. You can have as many ARTIST tags as you like.

If there are other problems as well as this, please post the exact messages that you are seeing.
