I'm not sure I follow to be honest.

I suppose it will not be helpful to you to know that I have successfully applied the suggested aliasTags value and added CUSTOM4 to the indexTags list and have the appropriate tag values be displayed.

Did you make this change to an MP3 file in MediaMonkey using the Custom 4 field in the Classification tab of the track properties? And then Minimserver picked it up?

Once another rescan is performed, the resultant file will contain all the tags and their values. These tag names are the ones recognised by Minimserver in indexTags, itemTags etc.

I do not really know how to use writeAlltags or if it is relevant for this purpose... I set it to "true" and restarted MS. All that happened was that MS took ages to restart. I also can't see a file called "true" on my server (DSM/synology) which i now understand is supposed to happen. Custom 4 still not being read from MP3 files tagged in MM.

- COMMENT SONGS-DB_CUSTOM4 for mp3 files
- CUSTOM4 for flac files

Same here in MP3 tag. But not in notepad/hex editor.
