RE: Why interpretor instead of author in a play-list?
Ufff, my English is not the best, I try to explain what I do:

Tagging:
I decribe how I tag my files:
Album with only one Artist -> Artist for the different tracks, no AbumArtist
Album with varios Artists -> differnet Artists for the tracks and one AlbumArtist for all tracks together

e.g. the CD "featuring" from Norah Jones
There are different artists together with Norah at each track (Norah Jones feat. XYZ)
So I put Norah Jones additionally in the AlbumArtist tag.
Then I have "Norah Jones" with the Album and "Norah Jones feat. XYZ" with the tracks.

In case of a compilation of musicians I write something like "Irish musicians" in the AlbumArtist tag.
Or in case of a label like Putumayo, I can search for all the worldmusic compilations from this label when i put it in the AlbumArtist tag.

Thats perfect for me - and with "roleTags={}" it works with the MinimServer as well.

HEOS:
I use the grouping funtionality of the diffrent Denon/Maranz components in our house, this is only possible with HEOS.
So first of all I tried to use HEOS with my Synology NAS and the checked the Synology Media Server.
The Synology Media Server works but without a search funktion.
That search is possible I found out, when I turned on the Media Server of Windows for experiment.
Then I installed Minimserver on the Synology NAS and it works nearly perfect - expect of the Genres (AlbumArtist probems are solved for me)
Denon/Maranz is one of the bigest HiFi producers, so I think it whould be useful to solve this problem.

Quote:Have you found any servers apart from Windows Media Server that show correct information in the HEOS Genres folder?

I would like to test other servers, but I don't know which ones
