Last post by Acell -I don't know very well Minimserver. I well know Audirvana and for example, about the tag "genre" is not managed by the same way.
I tag my albums with "genre", including sub-genre as"Jazz" or "Jazz-Big Band" or "Jazz-Be-bop" ... Same for other music as Classical one.
1) With Foobar, I can sort all the albums by genre CONTAINING the word "Jazz" and NOT ONLY the single word "Jazz" => in Foobar (on PC, and after settings) , a sort by genre with the word "Jazz" will address all the albums with genre : "Jazz", "Jazz-Big Band", ... With Audirvana, I will get only albums with "Jazz" genre (not sub-genre). And it is the same with all Controller Apps on smartphone I know. Reason why I prefer using Foobar on PC.
2) With Foobar (on PC), once you get your albums sorted by genre, you can also set ac clear "sub-sorting" by artist, with clear display separation artist by artist.
.. And I can describe more advantages. But for sure I am developping my Foobar version for many years and it is not obvious.
In summary, Foobar2000 on PC is much more comfortable for managing a very large music collection (10,000 albums).
