Trouble With The Word "THE" In Artist Field - parisphoto - 19-08-2015 17:31

Hi,
New MinimServer user here. Sorry if this has been previously asked, but a search didn't return any results.
I use Mp3Tag for tagging, Lumin and MininServer for accessing my library.
I will tag Beatles albums as The Beatles as artist.
Lumin displays all Beatles albums as Beatles, The.
Is there a way to have them, and all other "THE" artists listed as I have tagged them?
For example The Beatles instead of Beatles, The.
Thanks.

Have you changed any MinimServer property settings? Specifically, what are you using for the tagOptions property?

Nothing has been changed.
Server tagOptions reads -
Album.sortTags={Album, Artist}, Artist.ignore.*={The}, AlbumArtist.ignore.*={The}

Exactly what should I change?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The default value is:

Album.sortTags={Album, Artist}

so something has been changed by someone at some point. To fix the problem, set this property to the above default value and restart MinimServer.
