Here I use MP3tag to create a composition tag in addition to Orchestra, Conductor. The problem is at the last step, I am playing a composition (i.e. a group of tracks on an album) but all I get is the track title. e.g. "Allegro ma non troppo" but the composition is missing "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major" in the title display field.
I tried using the tagFormat as Title.displayFormat={$composition^^ - $title}, but seems not work for me... Any help would be most appreciated.
Files are in FLAC, Minim is running on Windows 7, Player is a Denon AVR - X1000, but have also seen the same problem with other (android) renderers e.g. Bubble, Kinsky...

I can't see anything obviously wrong with what you've done. Some things to check:

1) Have you used the MinimServer aliasTags property to rename your Composition tags to something else?

2) Are you sure that your files contain Composition tags? You can check this by looking to see if MinimServer is showing a Composition index entry. If you don't already have Composition in indexTags, you would need to add this and restart MinimServer.

3) Did you restart MinimServer after adding Title.displayFormat={$composition^^ - $title} to tagFormat?

Hi Simon, thanks for your prompt response. The alias tags is blank - I am not using it. The files contain the composition tags, as the composition option is used to navigate to the final track. Indeed I also rebooted the computer just to make sure. I noticed I had made a mistake and added a extra blank after "title", once that removed I could get things working in both the Linn app and the Denon app. However the Denon AVR X-1000 player itself seems oblivious of the composition element of the title and simply uses title. I have a suspicion that it could be the Denon X-1000 itself - though I have no idea why, I thought Minim would simply be serving up a string with the contents "Composition - Title". The Denon has a few other strange things but that belongs in another thread... So to summarise - the Denon finishes all navigation (i.e. its play screen) with Title, Artist, Album (and that is indeed what the tags have) , any idea how to substitute other data (at least for the Genre "Classical) i.e. Composition - Title for Title ?
