I would like to be able to search and choose which version I want to listen to, but I have not yet managed.

I have read carefully this section:
https://minimserver.com/ug-browsing.html...rt%20order

and I also found this other old thread which is on the same subject:
https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=3737

I followed the instructions (basically adding AudioFormat in the IndexTags property; then restarting the server), but nothing much changes when using my control point.

I was expecting to see something like this in the home container:

26 albums
241 items
3 playlists
Artist
Date
Genre
All Artists
Composer
AUDIOQUALITY
[untagged]
[folder view]


where AUDIOQUALITY is the new item... but that "AUDIOQUALITY" does not appear there nor anywhere...

Am I expecting something wrong, or am I setting the property wrongly?

Thanks for your help/suggestions.

Welcome to the forum.

You mention AudioFormat but then AudioQuality, was AudioFormat a typo?

In indextags did you enter #AudioQuality, the # is important as is the capitals.

Perhaps you can paste the contents of your indextags here
