Figuring out Errors and Warnings in MinimServer Log

[simoncn]

In ID3v2.3, the TCON format (nn) is interpreted as a numeric genre in accordance with the ID3v2.3 specification. As the ID3v2.3 specification requires this, it cannot be disabled in MinimServer.

The TCON format (nn.mm) used by MUSICHI is not compliant with the ID3v2.3 specification and there is no way to make MinimServer accept this value.

In ID3v2.4, the parenthesized value is not treated as a numeric genre code. This is because the ID3v2.4 specification uses a different format for numeric genre codes. However, you can't use Mp3tag to convert these ID3v2.3 TCON values "as is" to ID3v2.4 format because Mp3tag automatically converts "(nn" to a genre string when it reads the ID3v2.3 tag.

Your suggestion of configuring MUSICHI to encode the genre as some other tag such as as TXYZ and using aliasTags to map TXYZ to GENRE should work.

I have checked that MinimServer handles the ID3v2.3 TCON value "(06) Sacred" correctly as containing two genres Grunge and Sacred.
