Flexible Artist Display Order

[ruckmann]

Dear Simon,

first of all I like to say, that minimserver is a great software and I am absolutely happy to have it available. As a real lover of classical music I am owning a huge collection of cds (more the 3000), all of them meanwhile ripped and stored on a NAS.

My concern is the following. Minimserver uses the following tags to be displayed as artist information:
- Artist (usually used for soloist)
- Orchestra
- Conductor

In order to differentiate different kind of ensembles, I have introduced additional artist tags, e.g.
- Band (for pop and jazz band, also for small chamber ensembles)
- Chorus

This allows me to use the orchestra tag for real orchestras only. Unfortunately, those additional artist tags are not shown as artist information sent to the streaming client. Therefore the following proposal.

I would like to have a minimserver property "Artist Display Order" or simply "Artist Order" triggering minimserver to show artist information in a configurable order, e.g.

Artist, Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Conductor (my preferred one).

The standard order created by minimserver up to version 0.63 then would be

Conductor, Artist, Orchestra

which could be the default configuration setting in order to keep minimserver compatible with previous versions.

I am looking forword to hearing from you.
