View composer and artist at control point

[simoncn]

It is up to the control point to choose what information to display (track title, album name, track artist, album artist, composer, etc.) MinimServer sends all this information to the control point if your files are tagged correctly and you have the right settings for indexTags and itemTags.

I tried this with Kazoo and the track title, composer and album name are displayed for some tracks. For other tracks, the track title, artist and album name are displayed. Perhaps Kazoo is showing the composer when the genre is Classical and is showing the artist for other genres. Alternatively, there might be some other reason for this difference. The Linn forum would be the best place to ask about this.

If the control point doesn't show all the information that you want, you can use the tagFormat property to customize the content of the fields that the control point is displaying (e.g., track title, album title, artist). This isn't a perfect solution but it's the best that can be achieved without changes to the control point.

I haven't used Qoobar myself. Perhaps it is writing the Conductor tag in an unusual way. You could try using another tagging program (e.g., puddletag on Linux or Metadatics on Mac) to check this. I presume you have included Conductor in the indexTags property.
