1) Start with the the full album name (from the ALBUM tag)

2) Remove any illegal filename characters from this name.
On Windows, the illegal filename characters are " * / : < > ? \ |
On Mac and Linux, the only illegal filename character is /

3) If the resulting name is not the empty string, use this name for the .pdf information file for the album

For example, the booklet file for the album name:

Beethoven: Symphony No.3 & 6

would be:

Beethoven Symphony No.3 & 6.pdf

on all platforms.

Thanks Simon for this clarification. I was not aware of the algorithm used by MinimServer to match album names against pdf file names. I applied it to a few test cases, and everything works now as you said. I will update the names of all my pdf files accordingly.

May I ask another question? I used to keep my booklet files in a separate tree structure, constructed along the same branching structure as the one used for the audio tracks. This made their management easier (at least for me). If I were on Linux, I could use symlinks from the ContentDir to this parallel directory in order to avoid duplicating the pdf files. Windows does not offer the equivalent of linux symlinks. I tried creating Windows shortcuts in the ContentDir, but MinimServer does not seem to follow them. Would you know of any clean way to reproduce the effect on linux symlinks under Windows.

Thanks again!
