Windows Media Player - Multiple Artists

[simoncn]

The previous support for WMP is still available but the details of how to configure it have changed. To send multiple artist tags separately instead of sending them as a combined string, add this to the upnpCustom property:

multiTag={Artist}

To enable WMP to read the AlbumArtist tag correctly, add this to the upnpCustom property:

roleType={author}

To configure both of the above (needed for WMP compatibility), the upnpCustom tag should be set to:

multiTag={Artist}, roleType={author}

After making these changes, restart MinimServer.

The user guide points people to the forum for advice because it can be tricky to get these settings configured correctly for different control points and some people have added these settings in the past (especially multiTag) when they were not appropriate for their situation.
