How to re-build Uniti Core index

Posted by: Ian Price on 22 August 2018

Hi. I imported some MP3 songs I'd purchased to my Uniti Core via a USB stick. I realised afterwards I'd forgotten to setup folders for the artists and so the Core imported all of the tracks into the same 'Unknown' artist folder. My mistake.

Having setup the necessary folders on the USB stick, I re-imported the tracks and they now correctly appear under the respective artists. To clean things up, I then deleted the original three tracks from the Core downloads folder using Windows File Explorer. However, when I browse for music using the iOS app, the three tracks are still listed under 'Unknown' artist (although they don't play as I deleted the music files).

I'm guessing the Core music store needs to be re-indexed. I've tried powering the Core off/on but the tracks still appear. Is there a way to force the Core to re-index its music store?

You can do that through the Naim app. It's there in one of the options under the gear wheel icon, under "other settings".

But it may be enough to tell the app to clear its image cache and maybe restart the app too.

Thanks David. I looked under 'Manage music' but didn't think to look in 'Other settings'. Using the 'Rebuild music database' command sorted the problem!
