"A" & "The" also codec bit rate - mikeesnz - 27-05-2017 22:30

I am brand new to Minim server and am switching from Foobar2000. I would like to replicate "swap the "A" and "The" prefix in artists names" this is so The Beatles comes out under B and not T
Also I would like to have a section which is Codec and also Bit Rate which would be great. This way it would be easy to see my hi res music. Thanks

For A and The see ignore under tag option on this page of the manual:

For Codec and Bit Rate see Special index and item tags on this page of the manual:

Hi, I've just got a new Asustor NAS drive and using Minimserver
I've read the above, followed the links but it's all gobbledegook to me. I am not a computer programmer.
I got as far as trying to access the scripting but no matter what I typed in the address bar it just said service not available or a similar message

Yes, NAS drive is switched on and awake
Are there any easy to follow guides anywhere?

I want to ignore THE and have album list present in chronological order

The other method is to use the ArtistSort, AlbumArtistSortfields (these can be edited in a tag editor) and then configure MinimServer to use these for sorting. So the the ArtistSort for 'The Beatles' would be 'Beatles'

Then you would modify the configuration as follows:

itemTags: artistsort, albumartistsort

tagValue:artist.value.sort={artistsort},albumartist.value.sort={albumartistsort}
