Happy New Year!

MinimServer allows you to browse by any tags in any order. With your Beethoven example of browsing by folder, if your files and your indexTags setting include Composer, Work, Conductor, Orchestra and Year, you can browse from the top level by selecting Composer > Work > Conductor > Orchestra > Year and see exactly the albums that you want, just as you do at present.

In addition, you have the option to browse by these tags in a different order if you wish. Perhaps you would like to see all albums in your library with a certain combination of Conductor and Orchestra. Just browse by Conductor > Orchestra to see these. You could also extend your tagging to add soloists without needing to reorganise your folder structure, and make two selections to view all Schubert works with a particular soloist (for example).

At every stage, you are presented with lists of all albums/items in your current selection and a list of index choices for further refinement. It provides everything that folder browsing provides and much more, and is especially suited to a library like yours.
