Compilations And Not Compilations

@#AudioFormat=FLAC
@#AudioFormat=MP3
@#AudioFormat=MP4
+NonCompilation=0

You will need to customise these #AudioFormat values depending on what file types you have in your library.

You need to specify this tag update file in the tagUpdate property. You also need to add the following to the tagValue property:

NonCompilation.replace={Compilation}

and you need to add NonCompilation=0 to the indexTags property.

MinimServer will do the rest. For all your files that match the #AudioFormat list, MinimServer will add a NonCompilation=0 tag. This is not physically added to the file, just added to MinimServer's internal representation of the file. After this, MinimServer will change the NonCompilation tag values from 0 to 1 for all files that have a Compilation tag with the value 1. The result is that all your non-compilation files end up with a NonCompilation tag with the value 0 and your indexTags setting tells MinimServer to show you exactly these files when you select NonCompilation.

Thanks Simon. That all makes sense and nearly works. Some of the albums aren’t getting listed in the NonCompilation list. It’s not format dependent, about 190 out of 500.

I assumed it was because they may not have any Compilation tag at all. But reading your post that should not matter?

Any suggestions on this? Or do I need to add Compilation tags to all albums. Rather not as it’s quite painful and time consuming. :-)

Thanks again for help.
