Indexing with ArtistSort

[simoncn]

Each Artist value can only have one sort value (identical for all files with that Artist tag). An attempt to change this sort value will leave the current value in place and ignore the new value. The file in the message is the file containing the new value that has been ignored.

See comments inline below on how this affects your specific examples.

The index/sort value 'Coryell, Larry Organ Trio' in the tags of the file 'Larry Coryell/Impressions; The New York Sessions (Organ Trio)/01 - Very Early.flac' has been ignored. The sort value 'Coryell, Larry' in the tags of other file(s) is used instead.

The index/sort value 'Thompson, Richard & Thompson, Linda' in the tags of the file 'Richard Thompson/RT; The Life and Music of Richard Thompson, Disc 5 (Real Rarities)/02 - How Many Times Do You Have to Fall.flac' has been ignored. The sort value 'Thompson, Richard' in the tags of other file(s) is used instead.

I think this explains all the issues you are seeing. The conflict message could be worded more clearly and I will improve this in the next MinimServer update.

Edit: The new wording will be:

Warning: Ignoring conflicting custom value for ARTIST tag 'Richard Thompson' in file Richard Thompson/RT; The Life and Music of Richard Thompson, Disc 5 (Real Rarities)/02 - How Many Times Do You Have to Fall.flac
applied index/sort value is 'Thompson, Richard'; conflicting index/sort value is 'Thompson, Richard & Thompson, Linda'
