I am not in a position to be able to test the following right now but my interpretation of Simons’ suggestion was that the folder name should be changed to include a match filter.

This takes the form of [‘<text>’] and could be applied to your folder names as follows

1977 - 2001 - Rumours ['Remaster']
1977 - 2013 - Rumours [‘Expanded Remaster’]

Sure I can name the folder-/filetree so that i matches MinimServer with the sideeffect that some other software I need aswell do fail.
I still think the inventors of metadata did realise the problems resulting from having a linear representation of information while it was pretty obvious that differnt software does require differnt strategies.
So instead of relying upon a foldername I would have loved if Simon would some day introduce something similar to aliasTags which allows not only to define an alias from metadata sitting on one tagframe, but similar to what he does in the tagFormat section, allows to define an alias built from multiple tagframe's data + separators.
Since then it would be dead easy to form an alias which MinimServer could use as the internal album-representation to propperly split / merge things while the display remains the albumtitle as it was given by the artist who invented it.

nevertheless thanks for your comments, haven't tried but I bet it'll work aswell.
