Box Set Cover Art

[DavidHB]

The entities 'box set' and 'controller' do not exist in MinimServer, and certainly do not form part of any hierarchy. To amplify simoncn's advice above, here is what he said in a recent reply to me:

"... the full containment hierarchy supported by MinimServer is Album > Disc > Group > Track. The Disc level would usually correspond to a physical disc but it can be used for any purpose. The "discs" can be named (instead of numbered) by populating the DISCSUBTITLE tag."

As the position of any given track in the hierarchy is determined by the values of tags it contains, and not by its location in the file system, you can in theory allocate all of the tracks ripped from a boxed set to any of the levels above them. This means that you do not need to be bound by the album organisation of the physical CDs; CD albums (single- or multi-disc) can be split, merged and grouped according to your preference, and you can choose whether or not to treat the contents of individual CDs as separate discs.

Whatever organisation you choose, the rules for assigning album art set out in the User Guide will apply. So the first step to getting particular art displayed at the points at which you want it is to ensure (by tagging the relevant tracks/files appropriately) that the containment hierarchy matches this requirement.
