I'm loving Minimserver for its huge flexibility. Actually most is working fine. I've got 2 questions for which I've been digging through all stuff on this forum.

Question 1: multiple genres
I'm tagging with the tool 'MP3 tag'.
- (FLAC files) when using multiple genres then Minimserver is using them perfectly.
- (MP3 files) when using multiple genres in an ID3v2.3 (storing both ID3v1 ID3v2.3) file, only the first genre is found (I've also tested this behaviour with a limited number of files and letting Minimserver logging the tag info to a file).
In both scenarios, FLAC and MP3, I've multiple separate GENRE tags.

This is caused by Mp3tag writing ID3v2.3 tags with multiple values in a nonstandard way that isn't compatible with the ID3v2.3 specification. If you convert your files to ID3v2.4, it should work as expected.

I have just converted a load of flac files to MP3 using Foobar, which I understand usew ID3v2.4 by default, but my semi-colon-separated tags are showing single values; so where I have a tag value of "Rock; Pop" in a flac file, I can filter using either the Rock or Pop tags, whereas the MP3 file has a tag called Rock;Pop (note that the space after the colon has disappeared).

Any ideas on how I can fix this so the tags work as intended on the MP3 files?

I use BubbleUPNP as a controller.
