Support for reading Naim UnitiCore Metadata files added

[paultaylor]

Naim does not store metadata for Wav files in the files themselves making it difficult to transfer the files for use outside of a Naim system. For many customers SongKong with a Melco license has made it very easy to read the metadata added with UnitiServe systems (amginfo.xml, cddbinfo.txt & useredits.xml) and add it to the wav files themselves.

Now with SongKong 6.12 we can also read the metadata added by the newer Naim UnitiCore systems (meta.naim), and Naim also use this system for Flac files ripped directly by the UnitiCore. This includes not only the metadata originally added by Naim but also any user edits made with the naim app.

This can be done very easily simply by enabling the same For Naim wav files read the accompanying metadata files (Melco license only) option for both

The generated reports show all the metadata added, you can just enable the Naim option to only add Naim metadata to replicate your existing Naim control point metadata experience or keep Musicbrainz/Discogs searching enabled as well to further improve the metadata.

Please note a Melco license can be purchased an used on any platform to enable this feature, in other words you can use SongKong for Melco on a PC or Mac you do not not require a Melco Audio Server.

Please clarify the last paragraph. All I want to do is to tag Naim-ripped WAV files with conventional (ID3?) tags using the content from the meta.naim file, including my manual edits therein. Do I I need a Melco license for the audio server even if I don’t use it, just to enable this feature?

Hi, yes this functionality was originally added for the Melco company and as such a Melco license is required. But at £50 is only £10 more than Pro license and can be used on a normal computer, is not limited to a Melco Audio server https://www.jthink.net/songkongformelco/buy.jsp

We bought the Pro license so that we can convert Naim files to add metadata to a collection. We will be importing to Roon. Can we buy this 10 pound upgrade in the above post and you will upgrade to Melco licesnse?

Thanks

Yes, we don’t have an automated method for that, but if you have already purchased Pro and need Melco version just purchase Pro upgrade again and let me know via forum you have done this and I will send you a Melco license. But I cant actually see any existing license for the email used on the forum, I guess you purchased with a different email?
