Questions re Database and Indexing

[DavidHB]

This discussion confirms my expressed view that, while specifications undoubtedly allow for multiple tags, methods of implementing them in different applications are often inconsistent and sometimes mutually contradictory.

A particular irritation for me is that the dbPoweramp CD ripper - in most respects a splendid application - insists on replacing any semicolon in a tag with a double slash, and then (I think) dividing the tag at this point. If this happens in the Album tag, MinimServer immediately throws up an error, as it (somewhat understandably) does not support multiple album tags. There is no way I can find to switch off this unhelpful behaviour in dbPoweramp.

I look forward to further rounds of this discussion, particularly if they provide a workflow for entering multiple tags in a form that both MinimServer and Control Points can use.
