Hi!
As mentioned here ( [Conflicting Genre Tag - mp3tag vs. Lumin App - #86 by Florian](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/conflicting-genre-tag-mp3tag-vs-lumin-app/69825/86) ), I use MinimServer to serve my music files which live on my USB drive.
MinimServer scans the USB and logs errors, as attached. I have errors on ID3v2 tags, and also TDAT tags (not in screenshot as I fixed those). I can’t see that Mp3tag has a log when it loads the library files? Does it do any error checking at all on load? It would be great if mp3tag could do what MinimServer does, as then you are in the right app to fix the issue, rather than an external app. Possibly mp3tag could also suggest the fix and apply the fix.
Cheers,
Graham

Also, if there were such a log file, could it also complain that the Genre tag of a file is not in the list of “Custom Genres” if you are using that option as many files I collect don’t conform to my genre list.

If you want to see something similar right now, you could use a filter or a column to make such files stand out.
The filter could look like
`"$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,'PopRockDiscoSoulJazzMetal'),0,yes,no)" IS yes`
You would have to complete the comparison string with your list of genres.
In respect to the log: IMHO the log of the Minimserver is not very helpful as it does not state what kind of information got ignored.
Also, as shown in the linked thread, MP3tag would not have created a log entry as for MP3tag the data was perfectly OK.

Just do a me favor, add a song that only has the tag Artist and Title
And then add the TAG : Graham and text Mp3
I bet you that Minimserver will start complain about that text.
In that example Extended Tags you showed it's no doubt complaining about DISCOGS\_RELEASE\_ID and COUNTRY ? or STYLE?
If you don't want errors to appear in MinimServer just keep to (ONLY) the standard tags they support. What they are you have to ask on the MinimServer forum.

It did help isolate my problem with Genre atoms tbf.

Here’s another example of a file MinimServer complains about additional tags in the screenshot I first sent, where?

Style maybe. Just guessing though

I’ve done the test, will wait a bit as MinimServer seems to do stuff in the background when running.

I have others with same style, as it’s an album.

have a look here
> **[What tags does MinimServer support?](https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=194)**
And especially this
> MinimServer can support any tag name. There's a configuration property named indexTags that you can use to customize the list of tag names that MinimServer will scan and index.

Yes, “indexTags” is the setting you configure as the feed to the UPnP client, unrelated to my issue I think.

Then that Discogs tag will most certainly throw up an error 😉

Not on this one (sorry for the swearing), and another with loads of extra tags;

How did you fair on the test file?

Nothing to report.

🤔 WOW. Thus that one it accepted it, but others it generated errors.
what happens if you re-save the ones with mp3tag? Just add (for example) an A to title, remove it and press COMMAND + S. I know you can also press COMMAND + S without an actual change but just to be sure.

Yes, it (MinimServer) is inconsistent on the reporting. Notice that the original files in my screenshot are not in the rescan, nothing is. Not touched a thing an apart from the test file. Will wait, as mentioned, MinimServer does stuff in the background, so I will be patient and wait a bit, then review the log.

If you want to see more information about unsupported tags, create a column with the value `%_id3v2_unknown_frames%`
or filter for files with
`%_id3v2_unknown_frames% PRESENT`
(whether tag fields are unknown is an interpretation of MP3tag. It does not help to find out what other programs have implemented.)
