I don't believe that there will be a solution in the way that record companies and music databases are going one common way of tagging. So my suggestion (no, I should say my expectation) is that a music server should be able to recognize and read all tags, no matter if they are standardized or user defined. Then it should present me a list of all tags. In this list I could enable or disable every tag by one mouse click and I could change the sort order by dragging just like I can do this with the tracks in a playlist in Kinsky on my iPhone.
This would be a basic function. And from that on we could go further and add functions like mixing fields and so on.

I guess thats what Simon already achieves using the IndexTag property.

ie, if you tag your collection using the "Performer" tag, you use "Performer" as your indexTag, if you use "Soloist" you use Soloist as index Tag etc.. I dont think we need any fancy drag-and-drop configuration menus for this as you set this up once and its done.

I agree that it will be a tough call to get any buy-in on common standards by the content providers, but its worth giving it a try, as Simon intends. And to be honest: I would always want a certain amount of flexibility on my tagging-standards anyway - and glad Minim will cater for this
