That may sound a weird question, and maybe I got it wrong...

However: I have 6500+ Albums. Most of their tagging is not good.

Files are on a synology server, and I don't want to use smb. So there is no possibility to retag from my Mac, as I don't see the files (uploaded via sftp).

I therefore created a database on the synology and I have populated with my own information using some php code.

So my database is now more accurate than the file tagging. It contains a separate table for musicians, so I don't care about mutiple ways to write their name; it contains information such as music label which are not part of the standard tags. Etc.

However, there is no program to write tags in the files themself in php (I have had a talk with the creator of getID3; he admitted to me that his tag writing does not work, because it relies on a program called metaflac which is hardly available on a synology).

Here is my question: would they be some API in minimserver2 so that I can update the minimserver database to populate from my information, therefore superseeding the bad tagging of my files ?

Does this make sense, or am I out of the scope ?
