RE: Too many albums displayed on Lumin
Update....

Getting my head round indicated numbers of CDs caused me to look a bit more closely.
Firstly I found that Twonky looks only for a folder name when it scans. So if you have two CDs called April in Paris all the tracks are presented together as if they are on the same disk. It is not possible to play them separately. Even the files are stored in different sub-folders kept beneath a folder named after the artist.
For example I have a folder called Charlie Parker with his CDs in, one of which is called April in Paris, as most people do.
I have another artist with as CD called April in Paris, stored in its own subfolder.

Minimserver will scan these two sub-folders separately and present both albums separately.

While researching the above I raise my praise for the Lumin app even higher. Its search function is swift and accurate (and adjustable). I tried the search function on Kazoo which is painfully slow, and turns up only track names as far as I can see. So you cannot search for a CD. Neither as far as I could see could you search for a CD name on the Linn White app.
If you can, I don't need to know, life is short. I could not find it.

But well done Minimserver, as you would expect.
