I just read the UPnP specification again, and I see that it does indeed allow multiple entries for artist, genre, and album (but not for title !). It is amazing what one can learn each day!

As far as artists are concerned, SBS has a "separator character for multiple items" so if a track has a complex artist tag like "fred<s>joe" (where <s> is the separator character) the scanner will split that tag into two artist entries in the database. Does the SBS scanner handle complex genre tags in the same way, using the same separator character? Or does a track with a complex genre tag like "rock<s>classical" remain unsplit as a single entry in your SBS database? If the SBS scanner treats complex genre tags in the exact same way as it treats complex artist tags, then it is a trivial matter to implement multiple genre entries in the Whitebear UPnP ContentDirectory. But if complex genre tags have a different handling than complex artists tags, it would require Whitebear to somehow read your mind about your chosen personal encoding scheme for complex genre tags... -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear.
