Incidentally Asset UPNP can not do that as well.

If these programs can't read the LIST/INFO tags in your WAV files, it sounds like there is a problem with these tags that would also prevent MinimServer from reading them.

Strange, because the standard media server from Synology can read the names of the albums but not the artist, genre, etc.
I am sorry to have to get used to it.

best regards

Please upload one of these files to my FTP server so that I can look at the tags inside the file. I will PM you the server details now.

I`ve just uploaded a wav. file and the appropriate xml tags on the FTP-server.
Many thanks!

This .wav file contains a LIST/INFO tag and an ID3v2 tag. Both these tags contain the same information:

ARTIST=Alison Moyet
ALBUM=The Minutes
DATE=2013
GENRE=pop

MinimServer should be reading these values from the ID3v2 tag when it scans the file. There is no additional information in the LIST/INFO tag, so adding LIST/INFO support to MinimServer wouldn't make any difference.

I'm not sure why you uploaded the other files.

Oo, sorry, I've already converted this album with dbpoweramp.
I`ve uploaded a other wav file.
Many thanks!

This .wav file contains audio data and no tags. I'm not sure why you uploaded the .xml file.

I am not a professional in the area.
I thought that the media servers can read the XML data.
Why does the Naim Unitiserve read the XML data?
Why can the media server from Synology read the name of the album?

Thank you

I think this XML data must be a proprietary Naim thing. I don't know how the Synology media server reads the name of the album. Is it perhaps getting this from the name of the folder containing the file?

Yes, you're right, the media server from Synology recognizes the second folder as the albumĀ“s name.
The XML data is completely useless.
There is no other way than to convert manually each of the 2000 albums.
Thanks for your time Simon
