Maybe I'm dreaming but things like that (and being able to make small corrections of tags) are what I would expect from a really professional music server app.

The next release of MinimServer will be a step towards what you are describing. It won't do if/then/else, but it will allow you to combine multiple tag values using customized formatting.
