Conflicting album artist values

BBC Singers\\Simon Joly, Bo Holten

Under "Album Artist", the column lists:

BBC Singers

These are the same for all the tracks on the album.

So, as I understand your response, which recommends that I do what I already thought I had been doing, there should not be a conflict, unless I am misunderstanding the column classifications in mp3tag, (which, given my level of knowledge, is entirely possible). I do note that your response refers to "ALBUMARTIST" which is slightly different to the column name in mp3tag.

I would be grateful for any further thoughts you may have.

In Mp3tag there are two versions of this tag: Album Artist and Album-Artist. One of them is displayed by default, and the other isn't. To get the other one to display, you need to select View -> Customize columns. I have set Mp3tag to display both of these.

MinimServer treats both these versions of the tag as being equivalent to ALBUMARTIST. It's very likely that the other version (not currently displayed by MP3tag) has the value

BBC Singers\\Simon Joly, Bo Holten

and MinimServer is picking this up as a conflict.
