Having reached the same conclusions the hard way and having finally sorted out the delimiter for my tagging software, I am now using your style (except for conductor) for classical works and am delighted. You have also explained the comma which appears in the list on BubbleDS. There is still the question of visibility when there are several artisit and I find the easiest way to see the data is to tap the now playing screen to see the lot. To have them scroll would be neat but may not be worth the effort.

A scrolling list would need to be implemented by the control point, not the server.

OK Understood.

Quote:I also have been trying to get the pdf booklet view working. At present I have put the pdf in the same directory as the track files and given it the same album name as the jpg file. It appears this is not enough but I do not understand the detailed instruction on where to put the pdf file as it refers to a BubbleDS directory. Where would that be other than on my control point? Sorry to be so dense.

I am not sure what you mean when you say the instructions are referring to a BubbleDS directory. The .pdf file needs to be in the server library in the same directory as the track files. The filename of the .pdf file must exactly match the tagged album name (after making allowances for illegal characters). Alternatively, the file can be named folder.pdf or booklet.pdf.

I have an example with pdf and jpg files in same directory as the tracks as you describe and the cover art is displayed OK but when I select booklet from now playing screen I get the following message:-

This album has no PDF booklet attached.

To attach a PDF booklet to this album, copy the PDF booklet on your SD Card in the BubbleDS/booklets directory, with the following naming convention:

<album title>.pdf

The booklet for this album would be located as: /storage/emulated/0/BubbleDS/booklets/Händel - Alcina (Ferdinand Leitner, Capella Coloniensis, Sutherland, Wunderlich).pdf

The above file title for the pdf is exactly that for the jpg which works well. The pdf opens fine in pdf viewer and contains an 80 page document. Any ideas as to what might be going wrong? Is this too a question for BubbleDS?
