In the next release of MinimServer, there will be a new "tag alias" facility that would enable you to define (for example) MAINARTIST as the alias for ALBUMARTIST.

Hi Simon,
yesterday I did a little thinking on how to go on with my tagging.
I did some checking how different control points show informations.

And I came to the conclusion, that it would be logical if minimserver,
would also read the composer tag without appearing in the index tags.

Reason:
I like to have the Information displayed in the Controlpoint
with the prename first.

So I use ARTIST ALBUMARTIST and COMPOSER
like: "Eric Clapton" or "Ludwig van Beethoven"

I don't want to have these Entries indexed because in
the search tree I would use

ARTISTSORT, ALBUMARTISTSORT and COMPOSERSORT

Displaying as "Clapton, Eric" or "Beethoven, Ludwig van"

But when I want to see the Composer in the Playing now section
i have to tag it and therefore will have an entry in the search
path which i don't want to have (not elegant! )

An alternative would obviously be to allow an entry
Composer:, with an empty display name resulting in not
showing the indexed tag as an selectable entry.
(which results in an error and in not starting the server by now)

Or did I miss an option ??
