Naim HDX - n-Serve information

Posted by: Tomz on 25 April 2013

Do anyone know why n-Serve does not download and show the year the album was released?

Hello Paul, and thankyou for your reply,

 

I use my IPad as a remote control for the HDX. After ripping my cds to the harddisc on the HDX I find a lot of information about the albums on n-Serve, but I can not find information on when the album was released. For me this would be useful information.

 

Regards Tom

Think that's a Rovi issue....I also find that very annoying. Now one has to dig the date out in the info section in the album details text, if its there.

I don't see why that very simple factual information can not be part of the main info text as with album name and artist...for me the date of release is quite significant as it helps me put music into era context.

I don't think there is an editing solution, but I could be wrong.

Definately annoying! What is a "Rovi issue"?

Tom,

    Jason is correct, these details are not available (to my knowledge) on the n serve app, but i believe are part of the data set you get with the n stream app.

 

I believe that Naim are trying to migrate to a common app for both systems, which is likely to bring this (and other) functionality, but is not a current item available.

 

Sorry for the bad news

I'd love to have release dates available. Also for sorting purposes... I really hope this will be part of one of the future updates...

 

Regards,

Michel

I like to see accurate release dates on the version being played as opposed to original release date, although that would be OK for reference. I get around this by tagging and usually put it in brackets after the album title. It can be hard to keep track of the cornology of different releases of an album.
