![]() After SongKong reports the exact contents of a library with all existing metadata, it will source additional metadata and create new tags in a consistent format, creating a new HTML file or spreadsheet reports of the library showing all additional metadata. Users are then able to apply manual edits to just a single track or single album as well using the simple web interface. Melco (Maki Engineering Laboratory Company) was established by Makoto Maki in 1975 in Japan as a manufacturer of the finest audio components of the time. ![]() From those early beginnings, Melcoĭeveloped into the largest computer peripherals manufacturer in Japan (Buffalo Inc.), including wireless routers, Ethernet data switches and storage devices such as NAS drives. More recently, the company revived its Melco brand, offering high-quality network audio components and storage devices in the spirit of the much-revered early Melco products. MinimServer was created by Simon Nash in 2012 to provide a UPnP server with a better browsing experience for classical music than other UPnP servers available at the time. Thanks a lot also to Mellowman, french guy on french forum who initiated the discussion and helped me to go further on this approach quite automatized.These servers were based around a fixed browsing hierarchy using a limited set of tags (primarily Genre, Artist and Album) with limited options for customizing the browsing experience. By selecting the year and month of creation date, you can after navigate through albums, typology of music, artist, year…. In terms of results, you just need to go to your UPnP Control Point, in my case Linn Kazoo, select minimserver and you would see appearing the “ Date d’ajout” tag with the format YYYY-MM. When done, you can “apply” and launch a rescan from minimwatch. You can change the wording after the “:” in order to reflect your needs (mine was in french). You need to go to “index tags” and “CREATION_DATE:Date d’ajout”. You need to open minimwatch while minimserver is running and select “ properties” tab. Now that the job with MP3Tag is finished, you need to tell to minimserver how to handle it. As soon as you select this action, the selected files will be updated accordingly. Personnaly i selected the following parameters “ $regexp(%_file_create_date%,(.)/(.)/(….),$3-$2)” in order to obtain the following output “ YYYY-MM“. These parameters “ $regexp(%_file_create_date%,(.)/(.)/(….),$3$2$1)” would lead to a format like “ YYYYMMDD“. As soon as you would validate, MP3Tag will create this special tag for all the selected files in the selected directory. As name, choose the one you like (for me CREATION_DATE) and in field, as you need to put something, you can type « temp » for example. Next step is to create a specific tag we can name « CREATION_DATE » For this, you need to click on the « tag » icon and create a new one (add field icon). Next, you need to select the directories of your music you want to update : go to “File” and “Change Directory”Īs soon as you would have selected the directories, MP3Tag will collect the tag informations. Let’s start, first, download MP3Tag from the editor’s link. The follow-up example will show how to sort the files by year and month (YYYY-MM) but you can change according to the date format of your country or…to your needs. The last step, will be to indicate to minimserver that it can use this new tags. The idea is to create a specific tag kinked to the creation date and populate automatically the creation date into this tag. What you need is for sure minimserver and MP3Tag as software. ![]() In few words, it is possible to do this kind of sorting quite easily and for free. For this reason and because of motivation given by few posts on a french forum, i tried to have a look to this topic. We can mention that this feature is available on the Lumin application through a specific tab and i assume it is linked to the Lumin app functionality that is creating this date when it screens the server for the updates. Simon, the creator of minimserver has this option in the « todo list » since years but still not available. This sorting is embedded is few server software like Roon or JRiver but it is lacking for years on some well established UPnP servers like minimserver. When you still buy some files instead of streaming from Qobuz/Tidal for example, a way of sorting the files is through the creation or import date of the file.
