Music file types
I have sometimes several versions of the same album - mp3 wav flac etc.

I want to be able to select an album with a particular file type

I am using Linn Kazoo on Windows 10 for minimserver running on a Pi

The only solution I can find is to rename my albums - Abbey Road mp3, Abbey Road wav and so on

Is there a better way in say the Album info section?

Thanks (I have over 10,000 albums)

RE: Music file types
The special tag #AudioFormat contains the audio format of the file (MP3, FLAC, etc.). You can include this information in the album title by adding the following to the tagFormat property:

Album.displayFormat={$album^$#AudioFormat^ [^]}

You also need to add #AudioFormat to the itemTags property. After making these changes, restart MinimServer.

RE: Music file types
The tagFormat property is described in this section. The #AudioFormat special tag is described in this section.

RE: Music file types
Picking this one up, I actually use the AudioFormat tag, but would really prefer, if it could be displayed in a „bit/khz“ format rather than just CD CD+ HD.

Any chance to have it show as „24/192“ „24/96“ etc.

Many thanks

RE: Music file types
This information is available from the #AudioData special tag.

#AudioFormat -> encoding format of the file
#AudioData -> bit rate / bit depth / sample rate
#AudioQuality -> CD, HD, etc.

RE: Music file types
Almost there. I now get 24/44100 24/96000 etc...

Can I somehow divide the sample rate by 1000, so I get 24/44, 24/96 etc.? Thats the more common way of displaying a FLAC quality as used in download stores etc..

Many thanks

RE: Music file types
It isn't possible to change this string. The numbers are exact because they are computed for for DSD as well as PCM (so DSD64 is 1/2822400).

RE: Music file types
Thats what I feared.

It is technically precise but I am just wondering whether it is the most practicable / user friendly implementation.

Any chance of giving this a further tought to display as DSD64, 24/96 etc.?
