I have only just realised that this presents exactly the same user interface issues for classical music as are solved at home by the use of MinimServer on my NAS.

Is there ever going to be a possibility of a version of MinimServer for Android? If not, are there any other Android media servers that have some classical-friendly features?

Your car stereo is usually based around software from Blackberry, Microsoft, Google or Apple. And what these do is import the metadata of the files on the USB stick or SD card into their own database. They then play back from that. They will be completely oblivious to minimserver and as these are closed systems, you can't port MinimServer to it.
