Eventually you can add an option to configure the TXXX name that holds that info for the rare user who use it. detecting compilation is useful if you want to present a Compilation subtree showing only compilations.

For MinimServer, this seems equivalent to the way the user would add any custom subtree by creating a custom tag and adding the name of that tag to the indexTags property. |

RE: Artist vs. AlbumArtist
Hi, Mp3tag will allow to set the COMPILATION tag only to 1 or to 0. Is this a restriction of Mp3tag or is this some kind of special boolean tag? If such boolean tags exist it would be great to be supported in a future version of MinimServer. This way, a genuine compilation tree could be generated (showing only the part of the library with COMPILATION=1 without having another submenu containing the values of COMPLILATION inbetween).
Now, i use a custom tag COMP, which i set to meaningful values like 'Soundtrack, Best of, ...'. |

What kind of file is this (MP3, FLAC, M4A, etc.)? For FLAC files, any value should be valid for the COMPILATION tag (and would be valid for MinimServer). As a test, I have just used Mp3tag to set a COMPILATION value of 2 in a FLAC file. |

I've only tried with mp3. You can try with the file I've just uploaded. I use Mp3tag 2.52. In the 'Extended Tags' menu, when I set COMPILATION to 2, save it and reopen this menu, it will be siwtched to 1. |

It's writing this value as a TCMP frame with the value 1. The TCMP frame isn't part of the ID3v2 tagging standard, but is an iTunes extension. MinimServer doesn't currently read the iTunes TCMP frame, so these files should appear to have no COMPILATION tag when viewed in MinimServer. Is this what you're seeing? |

For me it`s more convenient to scroll in tag "artist" through lastnames and not of tons of The .... Open question for me, to fill in sampler albums the "album artist" with the album name ? That means between all of the artists in "albumartist" i will find several album names But ok with something the "albumartist" has to be filled, if not, we found all of the track artists in the "album artist". That´s not so good. Perhaps a good idea when we fill albumartist with the album name and do not want to find them in the overall albumartist selection is the following 1.) all track artist equal album artist = shown in album artist category 2.) all track artist not equal album artist = shown in album artist category (means albums that are no samplers or soundtracks but have some different track artists e.g. album The Cream of Clapton) 3.) tag album equal album artist = sign fo minim to show these albums in a subcategory /albumartist/compilations |
