Hi John

I don't believe you can edit the metadata directly using the Naim tools (n-serve, Desktop Client) for downloaded music. They only work on CD rips. Which is a bit irritating!

But you can edit the metadata using a whole variety of 3rd party software. What works best for you will depend on whether you are Mac-based or PC-based, what file format your downloads are in (FLAC, AIFF, etc), and how sophisticated you want to be.

There is loads of discussion on this topic in this forum - have a search on tags, metadata. If you post answers to the questions above then I'm sure all others will be along shortly to offer recommendations.

FWIW I use dbPoweramp on a PC.

Assuming they are in the downloads folder, just delete them via internet explorer.
