Multiple value delimiter

If all tracks of the album are tagged with the album artist "Rosemary Clooney|Duke Ellington", you should see this artist name in the AlbumArtist index and in the Artist index. If any of the tracks is tagged with no value or a different value, the album artist value for this album will be [unknown].

If an album has multiple artists, MinimServer expects these to be tagged as Artist, not AlbumArtist.

Does this explain what you are seeing?

Ah yes! Sorry for my confusion. This is indeed.

They do show up - so, that was probably an early issue with listing being generated and my control app updating.

What I cannot find again is the instructions where it explains how to customise this display...?

I read it a couple of days ago but now cannot find it again. It allows me to set the display from Rosemary Clooney|Duke Ellington to Rosemary Clooney / Duke Ellington as displayed.

FWIW I only got to using | as a split because my Linux client of choice Cantata would respect it. No other reason at all, so I'm happy to learn to do things differently.
