HD Files Storage
Posted by: Ultramanzero on 05 December 2011
I have downloaded some 24/96 albums from HDTracks, any ideas that I can move the files from my PC to the NAS that can be read by my UnitiServe. All the exsisting ripped red book CDs are stored in the MQ folder, I have tried to move the HD files to the HQ folder but it doesn't work.
or USB stick is the only way.
Thanks!
the hd tracks automatically should be in their own file acessed through your desktop. just drag them into nas. did you use hd download manager. you do need java installed
Thanks rich46,
Yes, HD tracks created their folder on desktop, do u mean just to drag this folder to NAS?
Create a share on the NAS from its web manager, call this MUSIC or something with music in the title. Store your downloads there.
The instructions for naim products are pretty explicit, Do not put music in the music store that did not originate from the naim product, you could screw the database up.
As I have learned through similar threads, and consulting my dealer (who is double-checking with Naim, but I'm pretty sure what I will hear), the UnitiServe is designed to NOT permit such files to be moved into its internal hard drive store.
I have moved .wav files to the internal hard drive by copying them to a cd rom and 'ripping' the rom using the internal drive of the uServe. But you cannot move files, .wav or .flac etc, to that drive over your network. It seems that the only options are (1) usb stick or (2) NAS. With either of those options, you can see the music using the n-Serve app, but they reside on the stick or on the NAS, not on the hard drive. They cannot be moved to the hard drive.
(For convenience I would love to be able to put everything on that one drive in the uServe, but I understand Naim's point that a corrupt file could prevent the device from working, and given that I can't just flatten it and re-install the OS the way I can with a computer, I am satisfied with this limitation!)

Bingo!!!
Thanks garyi, My UServe can now read and play those 24/96 files in NAS.
But it seems I cannot rename Album Title, Artist and Genre of those files, is it normal?
Hi Bart, I got the SSD version so no need to bother with the internal hard drive, eveything needs to be stored in NAS.

It is I use a program -Tag&rename, to do this. They offer a free months trial cost to buy is $30.

Ultraman, how the naims pick up the artist and albums is nothing to do with the filenames or folders its to do with TAGs.
find a suitable tagging programme to change problem tags. Use the right ripper though and you should not have an issue.
Thank you all!
Note: I think the reason you couldn't simply rename album title etc, is that the UnitiServe gets that information from the tags stored in the files. So when you use something like Tag&Rename you're actually modifying the tags int he files themselves on the NAS. When the UnitiServe sees the files, it'll pick up those new tags.
I think!

Frank.
