Nice work ! and a few questions

[R25097]

Hello,

I've tried and compared several upnp servers recently and most did not satisfy my expectations.
I have a huge music collection on PC, I use 2 Linn DS (Majik & Accurate) as renderers
and a few control point apps on my Ipad.
I do not want to mix music genres (i.e. Mozart & Madonna in Artists list),
so I need at least 2 upnp servers.
For my Classical Collection, I make use of Asset UPnP.
For Jazz, I've installed minim server and selected a folder with 50.000+ music files.
It is indeed a nice and well thought out application, with useful browsing features
and a small footprint.
So I would gladly contribute to your efforts with a donation and I intend to follow
the subsequent developments.
Now I have a few questions :
• You state that Songbook Lite is fully compatible but I can't see the CD covers
while they are visible with SongBook & Asset, and with Kinsky and minimserver.
I prefer SongBook because it is faster than Kinsky and has a search feature.
• Is there a performance benefit to use the 64bit version of minim server?
It won't work on my Windows7 64bit PC, seems to be Java related.
I've tried with Java6 64 bit alone and with both 64bit & 32bit Jave installed.
Maybe I should try Java7?
• Finally, I also had a look at "Wild Media Server".
Users are supposed to know how to make scripts in Pascal ou VB to enhance
the browsing layout : a non-starter for me.
But it has an interesting feature : you can browse the server database
and correct entries (genre, artist, etc.).
While with minimserver I have to look at the log, I've seen a few dozens entries
that need to be corrected (without modifying the file tags !)
I would be nice if there was a way to access minim server database directly.
I understand you want to keep the application minim(al) but more features in the GUI
would be interesting.
I send 3 screen captures : minim server with Kinsky and Songbook[
Bravo four your work.
