DSF files date tag not always indexing.

You can tag dates in DSF files as YYYY-MM-DD but the way this is done is different between ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4. A good tagging program should hide these differences but not all tagging programs do this successfully. I am not sure which tagging program you are using or whether you are using ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 for the tags in your DSF files.

It isn't a good idea to overload a tag (such as DATE) with unrelated information (such as the number of channels). Using separate tags is a much better approach and works very well with MinimServer.

You shouldn't need to create your own tag for the number of channels because MinimServer has a built-in special tag #AudioChannels that contains this information. This tag is created by reading the audio data in the file.

Simon,
Thanks for your tips. I’ll play around further using these tips. I use Mp3tag.
