[unknown] Artist problem

What format are the files that are causing problems (e.g., FLAC, WAV, MP3, M4A)?

As I understand it, with Kinsky Desktop these files are indexed under [untagged] and you see no artist information for these files. This would indicate that the files have no Artist/AlbumArtist tags, or that MinimServer couldn't read these tags, or that MinimServer found a conflict while reading these tags.

If MinimServer finds an AlbumArtist tag conflict, this would be reported as a warning in the log, and MinimServer would ignore the AlbumArtist tag value(s) for all tracks in the same album. If MinimServer is finding a large number of tagging problems, the warning messages for earlier files might not be visible in the log window because they have been replaced by messages for later files.

On Kinsky iPad, do these files appear under [untagged] in the index, or are they indexed under the correct artist? Are you running Kinsky Desktop and Kinsky iPad with the same MinimServer server instance?
