RE: How to handle Artist and Albumartist
Trying with DateVerRel={Date,AlbumVersion,ReleaseYear}
produces the error incorrect Tagname 'DAteVerRel' in option Album.DisplayFormat in property TagFormat.

Something I mentioned earlier ..... Errortexts are simply senseless since the only text which would have made sense would have been "are you sure you defined DateVerRel either in indexTags or itemTags?" Telling the user that there's a problem in tagFormat is simply no help at all.

anyway tried both ways you suggested without any luck.

Combining the items using merge results in
field1, field2, field3 against field1 field2 field3 .. I do hate comma displays.

And using the direct .DisplayFormat started throwing errors that Date is unknown to Minum.
Perhaps because of using
$Date $AlbumVersion $ReleaseYear^ <^>
against
$Date$AlbumVersion$ReleaseYear^ <^>

more testing later .. fed up right now after anotheer 20mins for 1 simple thing without getting a solution.
Userguide, Errortexts and the way configuration works are the 3 items I would rate the negative aspects, the rest simply works.

But 1 exciting advantage is that in my case I wanted to prevent the duplication of dates and it the merge not only compares field1 against field2 and then field2 against field3 but each against the others. Reduces the effort to make use of tagUpdate by a 100% ;-)
