Conflicting album artist values

If they do it like GENRE, it's still one value as far as the tagging rules are concerned, so this would be a convention for how Twonky builds its search trees rather than a change to the rules for tagging. If they use a comma as the separator, that could cause problems if one of the album artist names contains a comma (not impossible).

Quote:Problem with Orchestra, Conductor and similar tags is that no control point displays them.

This isn't a problem if you're using MinimServer as the server. MinimServer sends the control point an artist string that includes Conductor/Artist/Orchestra information.

Quote:But suggestion 1) sounds quite reasonable.

It's the simplest approach and gets you what you want right now.

Quote:I just thing that soloist / orchestra / conductor is the most sensible way of listing. Thats usually also the order the performers get listed on the CD cover - or how they get listed in magazine reviews such as Grammophone.

I checked a few and it seems you're right. I'll change the order in a future release of MinimServer.

Good luck! It will be "interesting" if England are playing Germany in the semifinals.
