Multiple resolutions of the same album
Hi All,
How does MinimServer handle the same album if I have copies in different resolutions?
Example:
Artist - Album Title - Format - Resolution
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - wav - 16b 44.1kHz
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - flac - 24b 192kHz
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - dsf - DSD64
Arne Domnerus - Jazz at the Pawnshop - dsf - DSD128

Will each copy show up as a separate album?
Can MinimServer show the resolution so I know which one I am playing?

Any ideas?
Chip

RE: Multiple resolutions of the same album
Not sure if they will show as different albums if all the names are the same. Just add after the album title (Hi Res) or similar and so long as each album has a different name they will all stay separate and you will be able to tell which is which, all under the same artist.
Minimserver wont recognise that they are different resolutions as it just looks at the tags.

Streaming from a Synology 1511+ to a Cyrus Stream XP2 QX, 2x Roberts 93i, A Revo Superconnect, a Mede8er 600 3D and a few Squeezeboxes thrown in!

If you add #AudioData to the Index tags MinimServer recognises the audio data for the file (sample bit depth, sample rate and bit rate).

If the tagged album names are the same, you can use a match filter (see this section) to prevent unintended album merging.
