Unitiserve Rips - Missing Tracks

Posted by: Mike A on 25 November 2015

Hi - I'm Mike. I've been lurking in these fora for a couple of years and never cease to be impressed at the knowledge and advice available here. This is the issue that has currently got me stumped. 

 

 

I'm loving my new Unitiserve - and enjoying the flexibility to hop around my music collection at the tap of an iPad. Some artwork and metadata problems have now been resolved with N-Serve on the iPad or my Mac. Good functionality here, although a bit of documentation would help!

 

I'm about 200 CDs into my collection and seem to have hit a brick wall with one particular CD. Dream Theaters Greatest Hit (... And 21 other pretty cool songs) is a double CD. Disc 2 ripped perfectly, but disc 1 only shows the first 8 tracks of 11. My uniti CD player sees all 11. I 've tried feeding the CD back in again, cleaning the surface, deleting the rip from N-Serve, but none of these have delivered all 11 tracks.

 

Any answers out there please???

I can search for tracks in the n-serve app for IOS no problem, but I don't think there is a way to search for tracks in the naim app (ie formerly known as n-stream.). Maybe someone else has found a way?

Hi David,

 

What I mean is that the changes need to be made in the n-Serve for Mac app or DTC, then the tracks will be searchable in the iOS Naim app.

I have experienced similar problems and once I realised this could happen I now make sure that I either keep an eye of the rip progress to make sure no errors occur or check the rip once it shows up in my library to make sure all tracks are present and correct.  I'm quite fastidious cross checking and correcting the meta-data and have even found the odd track has been tagged with the incorrect title.  You can also go check for errors in the Maintenance section of the desktop n-serve app.  It's either under Ripping Alerts or System Messages (can't recall which one off the top of my head).

 

Where the disc doesn't rip correctly I use XLD, which usually does the trick.

 

My most troublesome disc to date is Bruce Springsteen's 'Hammersmith Odeon, London 1975', which was missing tracks and I still cannot get it to rip in order - even when I do it through XLD - there must be something really strange going on with the tagging on that one.  I'll hopefully figure it out once i've completed ripping my collection, which is my main focus for now.
