Genre tagging: using available tag and order sorting

[alan9990]

This is brilliant. Thank you. I've been trying to use the NUL for my separation but haven't yet succeeded in working out how my system expects me to input it. I may get there.

My earlier comment about Genre tagging was based on my still incomplete knowledge of all these important details about spec compliance and such that you're kind enough to explain here.

If it's in any way helpful to know, I use ID3v2.4 on Tag 2 only. I see no use for Tag 1 since I will never allow Microsoft (Windows) anything other than read access to my audio files, and I don't see where else they could possibly serve. My library is FLAC and mp3, with a few MP4 files to be replaced. I don't touch WAV because AFAIK to this day the spec hasn't been made open, and I'm not aware of any software that can properly tag WAV files.

The more time I spend with Minimserver - specifically working out the best ways of indexing and displaying my library - the more and more I like it. And I happily accept that some of what I wish to achieve is simply correcting poor choices on my part e.g. having decided many years ago to tag GENRE in certain ways, at a time when a thing like standards compliance never entered my mind.

This forum is so helpful in getting the best from this software!
