Thanks for the suggestion. I know I can change all my tags, but I like the power and selectivity that Minimserver provides the way I have my music tagged now. As for retagging, I'm not sure what "general recommendations" are for classical, since everything I've seen indicates that there is no clear consensus on classical tagging. I could copy the composer to the track artist, but then I'd have duplicates. It also seems counterintuitive to me to have tags available for Composer, Performer, Soloists, Conductor, Orchestra and Ensemble, only to load them into the track artist as I see it in many downloads from HDtracks and Qobuz. I'm quite happy with my current tagging, just trying to tweak the display a bit.

Hello antonmb, please could you tell me how you exactly tag your classical and popular music files? I am also struggling by this tagging thing, I have much more popular music but also classical.
