How MinimServer Deals with Tags

[muzz77]

Hi Simon,

Just a question for when you have some time ... it's just a general query as I am having a robust discussion with a hardware maker regarding their app and their lack of support for Vorbis Comments. You don't need to get into intricacies of MinimServer or supply any programming that maybe commercial in confidence but as you're extremely knowledgeable on this and given that Minimserver handles all file formats well I thought you might be the best person to ask.

On reading the Minimserver documentation it appears you are mapping ID3 tags up to a Vorbis Comment tag. Presumably your programming then deals with the Vorbis Comment and any database fields and indexes are based on the Vorbis Comment name. The program then uses the functionality of Vorbis Comments like allowing multiple tags and extended field lengths. Is this a very simplistic idea of what's going on?

Also is there any other documentation you use other than that on xiph.org to explain standards in Vorbis Comment tagging?

Any comments you have would be much appreciated. BTW it's been 18months with Minimserver. I finally gave up and got a Samsung tablet and BubbleUpnp and couldn't be happier. Thanks for the recommendation.

Cheers, Kel
