Correction (just for this instance) would add just one "useless" choice and will not make users concerned (as happened to me) about any possible wrong tagging.

I'd like to offer an alternative view, though again from a user perspective.

This is a case where absence of information is information in itself. The lists are not there to record the presence or absence of tagging as such; they are there to enable the user to make a choice. If I see that an option is not present, I know that that option is not available, and that is often useful to know.

Well, absence of information in this case tells you there is a single artist. But who is the artist? MinimServer in this case will not tell you, will just tell you there are Albums. Albums' names are not enough to tell you who the artist is. Now if you have in mind ALL of the Artists in your library, then you'd know that you have, say, a single Artist in "blues" and that Artist is "Deanna Bogart". But if you do not remember.....then you will get to know it is Deanna Bogart only after you play "blindly" the first song (at least on my mediaplayer).
I am one of those who will not be able to tell by mind how many CDs I own and the Artists. In this case i had forgotten i had bought a CD of this Artist, that i had ripped it to FLAc in my NAS and had tagged it under "blues".

But, again, this is minor and does not detract to the great opinion I have of MinimServer.
