I agree this is a problem. I think the best solution (at least initially) is for the server to send a single value, based on a convention.

Quote:Which makes me think a custom desc tag would be more appropriate.
The desc tag is part of the DIDL-Lite spec for a media server to send any non standard data it wants.
For example, here is how WMP sends the filesystem path as a custom desc tag:

<desc id="folderPath" nameSpace="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:WMPNSS-1-0/">
<microsoft:folderPath xmlns:microsoft="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:WMPNSS-1-0/">c:/music/[IR003] - Various Artists - Better By Design - 2002/01 - Rei Loci - Deep Blue.mp3/>
</desc>

A desc tag could be used to send several pdf URLs each with a readable name.

I'm fairly uncomfortable with this. The value would presumably need to be in either the proprietary minimserver.com namespace or the proprietary bubblesoftapps.com namespace. I'd much prefer to stay with industry standard tags.
