They have different purposes although they will often have the same value. As an example of when they might be different, you might have a Composition with a single movement (e.g., Sibelius 7th Symphony) and in this case you would set Composition but you would not set Group because there aren't multiple movements (files) to be grouped together.

Quote:I also need to know how to set these tags. I have no means yet for tagging "conductor," "Composition" or "Group" What tag editor do you use to set these tags please?

I use Mp3tag on Windows. For Mac, Metadatics is good. For Linux, puddletag is good.

Hi Simon,
Many thanks once more for your reply.

Ok, I understand your example but what would you set in my Bach Cantatas? Would you set composition, group or both?

I already have puddletag and see one can add titles and fields in the Settings>Tag Panel. What I am not sure of is the correct names and syntax for the three additional tags so I can be sure they conform with standards and will work with your program and BubbleDS etc.
What should I add to include conductor, composition and group?

Once I get the additional tags right what should I adjust in minimserver to get it all working?

Time for bed.

Budge
