That's exactly what I want. But how does this happen?

MinimServer treats the Artist index specially. If a file is part of an album that has an AlbumArtist tag, this tag value is shown as the Artist index value for the file. For other files, the value of the Artist tag is shown as the Artist index value.

The All Artists index just shows Artist tags.

If you add an AlbumArtist index as described by Snoopy08, this will just show AlbumArtist tags.

This setting is not related to which tags are shown in which indexes. It can be used to customize the XML sent by MinimServer to the control point and is only relevant for a small number of nonstandard control points.
