One view of this is that you're asking a lot for slimserver to anything very clever with WAV files, when it is so dependent on tags. However, since I think we are in "brainstorming mode" (therefore no criticism allowed ) perhaps I can try to turn this round a little. Is what you are looking for actually an enhancement to tell slimserver to guess tags other than artist/album/title from file names? EG have an option to tell it that the file structure is in the form genre/artist/album/track and to populate the database appropriately? You'd need this to be user configurable, of course. That would seem neat, doable, and meet the requirement? Potentially expandable for other tags too, like Year? You'd need to be sure you were consistent in you file structure for it to be useful, though.
