RE: Album Artwork
I tried not to put too much detail in but I haven't really explained what I'm trying to achieve, sorry :-)

I appreciate that by following the rules you can get MinimServer to display the artwork that you want, but those rules are at best awkward to automate.

Given most taggers operate on a per file basis, at the very least you'd need to add TOTALDISCS to all the files to be able to identify whether it's a single CD album. Then, you'd have to assume that if one CD has a %discsubtitle% then they all will, so use %discsubtitle% otherwise use a single folder.jpg.

This still requires that you follow the MinimServer illegal character naming guide, which might not work for other tools e.g. with foobar you can tell it to use external artwork, but if I put %discsubtitle%.jpg would it follow the same rules?

I can probably work around this, I mentioned it mainly as it's a much simpler solution than the current rules (it's just one rule), albeit you do duplicate album art for multi-disc albums that share the same artwork.
