My apologies for taking so long to reply to this.

For future reference, please compress log files and post them to the forum as file attachments as described in this forum post. Copying large amounts of text into a forum post makes the forum hard to read.

I see three different types of warning or error messages in the log messages you posted. Here is an example of each of these with an explanation and a solution.

Quote:Warning: illegal character 0x00 in GENRE tag value in file David Benoit - Inner Motion (VinylRip)/01 M.W.A. (Musicians With Attitude).flac

Some old versions of JRiver incorrectly wrote 0x00 at the end of FLAC tag values. MinimServer has replaced the 0x00 character with the Unicode replacement character '�' to produce a valid tag value. To fix this, use a tagging program to remove the 0x00 characters (recent versions of JRiver do this automatically).

Quote:Warning: conflicting ALBUMARTIST values ignored for album The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings
first conflicting value: Rebecca Pidgeon
first conflicting item: Spanish Harlem
second conflicting value: Livingston Taylor
second conflicting item: Isn't She Lovely

MinimServer doesn't allow multiple AlbumArtist tags within an album. Your album 'The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings' contains a track 'Spanish Harlem' tagged with the AlbumArtist 'Rebecca Pidgeon' and also contains a track 'Isn't She Lovely' tagged with the AlbumArtist 'Livingston Taylor'. Because of this conflict, MinimServer has ignored all AlbumArtist values for this album. To fix this, use the same AlbumArtist value for all tracks in the album (Various Artists is a popular choice) and tag these artists using the Artist tag instead of the AlbumArtist tag.

Your playlist file 'Johnny_Nash - Stir It Up_The Anthology/000-johnny_nash-stir_it_up__the_anthology_1965-1979-(smcr_5154d)-2cd-flac-2017.m3u' contains an entry for a file path 113-johnny_nash-my_merry-go-round.flac. This is a relative file path, so the full path for this file is 'Johnny_Nash - Stir It Up_The Anthology/113-johnny_nash-my_merry-go-round.flac'. MinimServer has not found this file in your library.

None of these warning and error messages explains why some of your albums have only 2-4 files in them or why 41 tracks are untagged. If you would like me to investigate this further, please follow the instructions in this forum post to post a full log file. Make sure you zip or compress the log file before attaching it.
