The tag alias facility will allow you to define one or more tags that are treated as aliases for a given tag. For example, the alias definition:

A: B, C

would translate all occurrences of B and C into A (internally within MinimServer) before MinimServer does any other tag processing. Any occurrences of A would be left unchanged.

So, if you define:

MAINARTIST: ALBUMARTIST

this means MinimServer's tag processing wouldn't see any ALBUMARTIST tags but would see MAINARTIST tags instead, and MinimServer would do nothing for 1) 2) and 3).

Quote:If so this would be great news, as I have already tagged
my collection with a (non multiple) ALBUM_MAIN_SUBJECT tag.
This tag has always only a single entry as it represents the
subdirectory where the file is stored.
(either the first ALBUMARTIST or the COMPOSER)

I did this because I couldn't bring myself to write the Composer in the ALBUMARTIST tag as often suggested for classical collections.

THX for the answer and hopefully for a soon release of the next version

You could get what you want (I think) by defining two aliases:

MAINARTIST: ALBUMARTIST
ALBUMARTIST: ALBUM_MAIN_SUBJECT

If you do this, MinimServer would use your ALBUM_MAIN_SUBJECT tags for 1) 2) and 3).
