Separators in custom fields

[simoncn]

Actually, using .m3u playlists is the best way to transfer playlists between different devices. The playlists need to use relative paths and "forward slash" path separators.

As an example, if your library contains the following folder structure:

some/path/Music
some/path/Music/playlists
some/path/Music/playlists/playlist1.m3u
some/path/Music/Album1
some/path/Music/Album1/track1
some/path/Music/Album2
some/path/Music/Album2/track2

then your playlist1.m3u file should contain the following:

../Album1/track1
../Album2/track2

You can now copy the library to another device with a different top-level path, for example:

completely/different-path/musicfiles
completely/different-path/musicfiles/playlists
completely/different-path/musicfiles/playlists/playlist1.m3u
completely/different-path/musicfiles/Album1
completely/different-path/musicfiles/Album1/track1
completely/different-path/musicfiles/Album2
completely/different-path/musicfiles/Album2/track2

and the playlist1.m3u file will continue to work correctly. This works for Windows, Mac, NAS and other Linux systems.

Regarding ';' separators in tag values, these are not handled by MinimServer but by your tagging program. It sounds like your tagging program is using ';' to split Genre values but not Custom6 values.
