You don’t have to possess any files at all, just subscribe to a service that has access to the files and will send them to you over the Internet when and where you want to play them.

Streaming digital playback consists of music played over the Internet. The distinguishing characteristic of file-based music playback is that you must possess the files you play back. Music files can range from extremely high resolution to CD resolution to lossy compressed formats designed to minimize the space needed to store them. To enjoy file-based music playback, you must acquire music files, either by downloading them over the Internet or copying (ripping) them from your CDs. The former, also known as computer audio playback, consists of music stored in digital file format on some sort of storage drive: a spinning hard drive, a solid-state drive (including USB flash drives), or a network drive. In their place have sprung up two alternatives: file-based music playback and streaming digital playback. 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.You’ve probably seen the music industry data: Sales of physical music playback discs (CDs and SACDs) are dropping sharply. 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).

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.
