Tagging Issues for a JPLAY user

I just copied it from their site (Step 3: Recommended Property Settings for JPLAY Integration), but reading their instructions it does say to add it to the existing defaults, so you may want to use:

Code:

indexTags: Artist, Composer, Genre, Soloists, Conductor, Orchestra, Ensemble, Choir, AlbumArtist, All Artists, Date, *RecentAdded, *RecentPlayed, #AudioData, #AudioFormat

I don't know why they suggest Artist and AlbumArtist as they're usually the same thing (unless you ever leave the AlbumArtist tag blank). I don't use JPLAY so I don't know if removing AlbumArtist will cause any issues.

It won't do any harm but it's not needed https://minimserver.com/ug-other.html#Al...%20summary

MinimServer relies on local assets (embedded tags and embedded/external artwork) so you'd need to source these yourself and follow the indexArtwork rules. https://minimserver.com/ug-other.html#Index%20artwork

I used Plex to scrape artist images but they're a pain to export, so something like MusicBee might be a better option.
