![]() I’ve since moved over to Roon which resolves a lot of these issues, it’s not perfect but does allow a composer view for only classical and it deals with compositions well. It involves having a separate instance of Asset for a classical library. I created a post almost a year ago with a system that works well for Asset. If I search under Bach for someting Isabelle Faust performed in this can become overwhelming. I find I have some favorite classical artists, Isabelle faust for example so sometimes I will search by her rather than Bach for which she is well renowed for. ![]() The problem though is that all music has a composer and you cannot see the wood for the trees!įor Pop, Jazz etc I use Album Artist and for Classical I generally prefer to use a Composer view but not always. Ideally the composer tag is useful for what you want to do. What you want to do is quite difficult to achieve and can lead to issues as you will find you solve one problem and cause another! Seems you really do need to enjoy spending hours in front of a computer to get this digital music stuff to play nicely sigh. Hopefully this whole process will become second nature as I now have to grind through all those albums thoughfully titled ‘Greatest Hits’ or ‘The something something’. In fact I was so thrilled with myself I went and found some album artwork and included that. So left space and save to all the tracks once more, then delete the existing album and save the new files. When I went back to mp3tag I found I had inadvertently placed the insertion point one space into the field instead of at the extreme left hand. Completely flummoxed to see this appear in the Albums list at the foot of the table below World’s Blysse instead of immediately after Alison Moyet. With some hesitation I made copies of my FLAC files of The Annie Lennox Collection and amended only the album title to read Annie Lennox - The Annie Lennox Collection and saved this to all the tracks, then downloaded to the Core. I did find a couple of sites with step by step guides That and the fact that at almost 75 I don’t find it easy to understand the terminology in unfamiliar software, not being of a generation where it has become second nature for so many. I guess my hesitation was based on the fear of losing or doing irreparable harm to my existing files. My hesitation was that the tool to do this is mp3tag which I found daunting on first acquaintance. You need to work with metadata on the files, rather than file names as such. ![]() I’m hoping someone might be able to point me to a really basic step by step guide on how to load files and modify them using this software. Most of the online help is either far too complex to follow (for me) or consists of Youtube videos by savvy guys with droning nasal US accents. Having downloaded mp3tag I can’t understand or follow how to use it, being of the boomer generation. I now realise that I can rename files until I lose the will to live but the Core ignores this completely unless I change the tags. I’ve discovered how to re-name an album which was ripped directly into the Uniti Core, but this does not work for downloaded music. For other music I rename by artist first followed by album title. For classical I rename with composer first then the work itself. Like many I suspect my preference in finding music in a long alpha list depends on the type of music. Now firmly committed to streaming rather than playing CDs and I have my Unitilite and Uniti Core working well with the Android version of the Naim App. ![]()
