Looking at many prior posts it looks like one better be savvy at understanding tagging code. I thought I was years ago. I was wrong.
Thanks for your help.

The illegal characters and date errors are caused by a bug in older versions of JRiver that wrote tags into FLAC files in an incorrect format with a NUL (0x00) character at the end of the tag value. If you have a recent version of JRiver (19 or 20), you should be able to fix this by gettng JRiver to rewrite the tags in your FLAC files from its library metadata. Alternatively, you can run these files through a file converter such as dBpoweramp.

MinimServer doesn't support having more than one ALBUMARTIST value for the same album. You can tag multiple artist names with the ARTIST tag instead.

I'm not sure what's causing the playlist errors. Either the referenced files don't exist or there was some previous error that prevented MinimServer from reading them. Do you see any previous error messages for these files?
