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.? |
