Multiple instances on the same Mac - how can I do this?

Try this instead as I'm pretty sure it will accomplish what you are after:

1) From the top level of your browsing tree select [folder view]
2) Select the folder that represents the part of your collection you want to limit browsing to (I'm assuming classical or pop)
3) On the next screen tap >> Tag View
4) On my server the next screen shows the name of the folder that I browsed to and tapping on that will take me to the usual list of indexTags.

You can now browse as you normally would, but the tags will be limited to the files in that folder.

The only time I've found multiple instances to be useful are when I've needed to serve files differently for different renderers. In the past I had a device that couldn't process DSD so I setup a second instance which used Minimstreamer to convert DSD to PCM.
