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.

A good control point will provide a pop-up enabling you to view the metadata for the track or album. This will include the artist name along with other useful information. Which control point are you using?

Actually i am a little bit old fashioned in this. I use the remote of the player, this remote has an "info" key, but works only at track level, that means you have to play the first song.
Once the player starts playing then the info key gives you the Artist and the format.
