Looking at the logs (and I apologise for not having the exact warning, I've since fixed them!) the tracks had conflicting ALBUMARTISTand ALBUM ARTIST tags. This seems to have started happening recently and I'm wondering if it's a problem with Mediamonkey which I used for tag editing. it got me thinking though, why does Minimserver take notice of the extended tag ALBUM ARTIST as well as ALBUMARTIST?

ALBUM ARTIST has historically been used by some servers and tagging programs and some people still have this in their libraries. MinimServer does the following:

1) If a track is tagged with ALBUMARTIST and isn't tagged with ALBUM ARTIST, the ALBUMARTIST tag is used for the ALBUMARTIST value.

2) If a track is tagged with ALBUM ARTIST and isn't tagged with ALBUMARTIST, the ALBUM ARTIST tag is used for the ALBUMARTIST value.

3) If a track is tagged with both ALBUMARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST, the ALBUMARTIST tag is used for the ALBUMARTIST value and the ALBUM ARTIST tag is ignored.
