The one that did not had a 'type 4' notice in the log. No record displays Composer info on Kinsky iPad. I include screenshots of the MP3Tag and PC Kinsky screens of one record that worked and the one that did not.

The first of these images has an ungrouped view of the album. MinimServer shows this view when you have used the index to select a partial subset of the album's content. In the ungrouped view, Kinsky can display up to 5 items of information for each track, including the composer if available.

The second of these images shows a grouped view of the album. MinimServer shows this view when you have selected the album's complete contents. In the grouped view, Kinsky displays only one item of information for each track. This displayed item will be the artist unless all artists for all tracks of the album are identical. If all artists for all tracks of the album are identical, the displayed item will be the composer if available.

For the albums in these images, all artists for all tracks of the album are not identical, so Kinsky is showing the artist in grouped view instead of showing the composer.

The folder view in MinimServer always uses the ungrouped view. This is why you are seeing the composer information when using folder view.
