Audio files with metadata that is not Naim-proprietary must be edited by a third-party program such as SongKong or MP3Tag.Downloads can be audio files in any format that is supported by Naim.Downloads content can be imported/copied directly to the internal drive manually, or by restoring from the backup, which you have edited.“Downloads” folder holds all other audio files that you wish to store on the device. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you edit Music folder contents ONLY via the Naim app.ġ.2.

The meta.naim file incorporates your edits made via the Naim app.(meta.naim for the newer Naim device rips, and cddbinfo.txt for older Naim device rips) Album folders under the Music/MQ folder must contain a Naim-created metadata file.Naim Rips are WAV or FLAC audio files (per your setting) created when a Naim ripping device like the Core inhales a CD.“Music/MQ” folder contains only Naim rips, with Naim metadata. The Naim UnitiCore (“Core”) CD ripper and audio server stores audio files in two directories, one for music containing Naim-proprietary metadata, and the other for music files with conventional metadata:ġ.1. I hope these notes can help someone avoid the searches and floundering experimentation that I went through. The following are things I wish I knew, or had considered, in the beginning. In addition to the standard ripping, I wanted to embed the metadata created by Naim Core directly into the resulting WAV files so that a non-Naim audio server could use the metadata, and to integrate my rips with my existing audio files stored on a NAS.īeing new to this, I had a lot to learn and I couldn’t find a comprehensive primer on the topic, so I kept notes. Recently I ripped my CD library using my new Naim UnitiCore.
