Yes, I always make sure to do a rescan after any changes.

I'm using BubbleUPnP Android and MinimServer is on a QNAP NAS.

Quote:COMPOSER tags have no effect on album and disc grouping but ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST tags do have an effect. To be sure that the discs are all grouped together into a single album, it is best to set a single consistent ALBUMARTIST for all files on all discs. You can then do anything you want with your ARTIST tags.

I normally have all COMPOSERs on a disc tagged as a single ALBUMARTIST value (names separated by a semicolon). When troubleshooting, I also tried using a single consistent ALBUMARTIST value across all the discs but the problem persisted.

Come to think of it, I wonder if something in the way I handle COMPOSER and ARTIST in MinimServer's Properties are causing these issues. The thought occurred to me, because my issues seem related to those two tags. Please see the two attachments.
