2TB Unitiserve

Posted by: Pete the painter on 22 December 2013

Having Just spent over $4,000 (AUS) on a 2TB Unitiserve I’m disappointed by the lack of ability to edit and/or correct mistakes to the data base or add missing covers. This is a much bigger problem in the “download” file which there is no editing what so ever. Why can’t I merge a double CD into one, if I was to use Naim’s logic these should also have 4 sides as well, and wouldn’t be nice to be able delete crappie “bonus tracks” on classic CD’s?

And why is my “downloaded” music any difference to a ripped CD? This was highlighted when I recently purchased a hi res file from Naim which hasn’t imported the cover either. I also intend to buy hi res files more often and concerned that these files can’t be edited.

Surely the ability to carry out these functions is a software issue (or firmware I can never work out which is which) and should be relatively easy to fix. Allowing their customers to edit at least the cover art in the “download” file isn’t too much to ask.

 I feel the OS needs to be more user friendly. Am I the only one who seems to think that this is an oversight that needs addressing?

to be totally clear you showed a file tree earlier with the art work in, the file i assume is a jog and has to be named 'folder' 

Yes, I said I renamed it folder.jpg, and that did not work. I then named it just folder, now on the albums on the n-serve app still shows no art but when you pick that album it shows the artwork when playing. Does this make sense?

n-Stream fetches information from the internet when you select an album to play.  Is it finding your cover artwork on-line?

I am not aware that n-Stream fetches album art and shows it on the iDevice's display.  Are you sure?

It will fetch artwork on ripped CD's but I am talking about high res music downloaded off the HD Tracks and put on a USB stick then plugged into the back usb port of the userve. It will not find the artwork for these files.

Thanks for clarification.  I am on a pretty steep learning curve!  There are times when I feel I'm wandering blindfold through a swamp.
