Thank you both for the comprehensive explanations - that's a lot of information to digest.
Meanwhile I tried to figure out how mpd deals with text frames. But there is no really good documentation of the mapping.
From the mpd forum and the source on github I found out that
TPE3 and TPE4 both are mapped to performer and
that multiple values are in principle parsed for each text frame, but are evaluated only for genre.
This is quite some limitation of how mpd deals with ID3 frames. But ok, this is something I can deal with.
(I have quite a history of media servers, starting with Twonky, Plex, Emby, Gerbera ...., and I spent hours for tagging and re-tagging, and I am not quite sure what my favorite tag editors really do under the hood. Again some investigation needed ...)
But wouldn't it be great to have a filter utility in Moode that works similar as the search/find command in mpc? Or a more general approach like the bubbleupnp searches the mpd upnp server?
