Ok example on recently added, I already have it in my index tag. I dont remember putting it via the unpaid ver.

If you don‘t even have any tags in your audio files, the paid license is useless.

Tags are the backbone of a server. Yes, you can fit an artist and a title into a file name and also an album into the folder name. This may be fine for small libraries of contemporary music.

But once you get into classical music and/or want to curate and also browse your library in extended depth you need a more capable server.

Just a small example. I have many albums from pre-CD times i.e. before 1983. My digital versions of these are e.g. from 2011 while the original release date is 1979. I keep both dates in the tags of my files.

Depending on how I customise the fully licenced version of MinimServer I can browse both dates or simply choose by which date the albums of an album artist are sorted and what is displayed in my control point during playback.

I won‘t even start to get into the tagging and browsing of classical music.

This may sound silly to you. But with a larg(er) library you start to wonder what you‘ve actually got there and want to dig in deeper.
