Thanks for giving it some thought.
As in OP, the same music on a card in my phone works with Bubble just fine. The card music/playlists data was written via PC but is understood by Android - so I'd expect that files interrogated by PC (or Android, plainly) would be "reported" correctly.
Hence I believed the QNAP issue to be arising from an aspect of Minim.

My NAS is on all the time (which is the point), my PC only sometimes, so I need to get the NAS access to work.
Rather annoyed that, this far down the line, QNAP multimedia apps don't support m3u playlists. Pretty basic omission !
The Sonos S1 system does that, but forces access via Samba SMB1, which is an acknowledged security risk.
My new QNAP does not allow SMB1, but my old one (copies only), still has to to enable me to use my (oldish) Sonos at all
