Netgear Readynas Ultra 2 plus

[DavidHB]

Simon's suggestion is the minimum change option for getting round the tagging format issue, if this proves to be your problem. It might be worth converting an album or two as a test. If you don't already have dBpoweramp, I suggest downloading and installing the 21 day trial of the Reference version from here

The following extract from the dBpoweramp Music Converter help page is relevant:

"Wave files can store limited (choice of fields) ID Tags in a Wave LIST chunk, or a full range id ID Tags in an 'id3 ' chunk (which is an id3v2 tag). By default both types of tags are written for maximum compatibility. Not all programs can read these chunks."

So dBPoweramp writes both tag formats ro WAV files by default. What I cannot discover from the (rather messy) MP3Tag help and forum pages is whether MP3Tag does the same thing. As you can read the tags in MP3Tag, it might be worth making a few dummy edits to one of your WAV albums in MP3Tag and saving the results, to see whether MinimServer can then read the tags in that album. But to change several hundred albums you are better off using the dBpoweramp Batch Converter.

A more radical, but in my view better, solution would be to convert your WAV files to FLAC with its Vorbis tags. This would avoid problems with tagging formats in the future. I won't get into any discussion as to whether WAV sounds better than FLAC (there are some strongly held opinions on both sides of that argument!). Suffice to say that you can always use MinimStreamer to transcode your FLAC files to WAV24 (which is what I do), and thereby get the best of both worlds.
