CD's not being recognized by US SSD

When you say the CD is not recognised, do you mean after a ripping on the US or on something else? Also by "not recognised"  does it play but not show album/track info?

First of all, make sure the unit is connected to the internet. The Naim servers look into the database of AMG, to see if the album is available in their database, see if you  can find the it on www.allmusic.com.

If it's not available, a second attempt is made using the FreeDB database. If this does not provide a solution, a small - internal - database is used. Some less comon albums are obviously not covered there...

Alternatively, you can always edit the data ...

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses...

for clarity...

as soon as a slip the disk in...

the actual US SSD itself does not think its a CD…  

The USSSD spins it a couple times then it just stops spinning it, no eject no error message

I have to use a paper clip for the manual eject button to eject disc.

I then place another CD in and entire ripping process works flawlessly...

Additional thoughts...

I have experienced this situation as well.

In fact sometimes by "Disconnecting the ethernet cable" cable US will rip the cd!

But I have a few CDs that will not rip no matter what I tried.

(they rip fine in the PC though).

Sorry, I have no clue...

I have a few CDs that simply won't rip. The UnitiServe spins them for while, whirs a bit and then spits them out. Nick Cave's Dig, Lazarus, Dig is one of them, and a couple of Goldfrapp albums. Kate Bush's Aerial wouldn't work, but when I borrowed another copy, it ripped happily. All very odd.

Strange, the same Nick Cave album ripped on my HDX without any problems...

Can I borrow it? My email is my username at gmail dot com.

I experienced all the problems described here (about 20 discs of about 1150 ripped to date). A study was performed by Trevor Wilson who proved that the problem was always the disc, even though all my problem discs were visually in mint condition and had played perfectly on my CDS2. A different copy of the disc (from a different manufactured batch or a different manufacturing plant?) always cured the problem.

Every once in a while a CD will be made that does not strictly adhere to "Redbook Specs".  They play on most CD players and computer drives.  But ripping them can be difficult.  I found EAC ripped most of these.  The one's that wouldn't rip in secure mode were ripped in burst-mode by Foobar.  Try a different ripping device/software.
