Regarding showing Date in the control point, adding Date to itemTags ensures that MinimServer sends this information to the control point but it is up to each control point whether or not it shows this information in the 'currently playing' window. You can ensure this always appears as part of the album name by adding the following to tagFormat:

Album.displayFormat={$album^$date^ [^]}

or to make it appear as part of the track title:

Title.displayFormat={$title^$date^ [^]}

Thanks Simon. Adding 'Music_libraries_Sort' to itemTags fixed it and this is now working as I would like.

I hope I haven't got a load of useless tags here, because 'Album.displayFormat={$album^$date^ [^]}' does not work for me. I get the Red Minimwatch icon and the error:

MinimServer: incorrect tag name 'date' in option 'Album.displayFormat' in property 'tagFormat'

I changed the '$date' to '$year' and this did allow Minimserver to restart. But I'm not getting the year/date appearing in the 'currently playing' window.
