Mystery of the missing album..

Posted by: ken c on 05 July 2015

hey you experts you!

 

i have an album that i can see when i open the folders on my NAS drive -- i can see all the tracks OK. Great. But when i got to the Naim desktop app, i can see the artist, but the specific album is not listed under this.  within the iPad naim application, i cant even see the artist -- (i only had 1 album of that artist -- so i guess this kind of makes sense?). same issue with n-Serve. 

 

how can i make the album visible on the naim app so that i can play it -- given that its already ripped and is visible on the NAS (Ready NAS Duo)? and why did the album just disappear?

 

(config is hardwired NDS and UnitiServeSSD)

 

looking fwd...

 

enjoy

a log time ago actually -- a couple of years at least, along with other CDs which are not causing me any problems right now.

 

curiously, when i tried to re-rip the album, it failed -- and the CD got stuck in the U/S and i have to reboot it to encourage it to spit the CD. very odd! the inability now to rip the CD i doubt is connected with the disappearance of the album from downstream apps, even though its on the NAS. since i cannt rip it now, i just wondered if there was a way to force it to be 'known' by the downstream apps -- naim app in particular of course.

 

thanks for response...

 

enjoy...

Hi Ken,

 

Maybe stating the bleedin' obvious, but as recently as yesterday, I had an album go awol, (I use an HDX to rip to a NAS).

 

It turned out that that it hadn't been recognised by the database, and went into "unknown" albums, missing artist, album title and track listings.

 

Maybe?

no its not in unknwon folder.

in case i hadnt mentioned, this is an album that has been 'in the system' for some time and i have used it in playlists as well. in fact, the fisrt time i noticed there was a problem was when one of the tracks from that album could not be loaded into a playlist.
