Tried that, impossible on an iPad in Europe.

Is there any way to get my Qobuz playlists and albums sorted alphabetically now?

I would rather have this functionality rather than pointless pictures of my units - I already know what they look like.

It should be self evident where this is heading. It’s classic marketing spin to position Focal and the Naim brand will be further sidelined until it is completing absorbed into Focal.

I doubt it will come to that in the forseeable future, Naim is too strong a brand in the UK. It’s been clear for a while that Focal are prepared to use Naim to push their brand in the UK and other markets where Naim is well established, and this has not always been to Naim’s advantage.

Can’t suggest how to restore.

I posted a comment about Tidal playlists on the New Focal & Naim App after @Richard.Dane at post 137 above, asked for comments / issues to be posted on that thread, rather than this one.

Briefly - Tidal appears to default on version 6.0 to “Home” screen when selected - which may be a change since I was initially puzzled that “My Playlists” were not displayed - when I altered the settings in Tidal / “My Collection” it displayed as expected; Qubuz appears to display ok and as previously set -

hope that helps.

I think the adoption might be a bit slower in the UK, but the shift to Focal Powered by Naim and change in the international distributors is a pretty strong indicator of changes afoot.

I think some people are reading far too much into what really is just marketing, Naim is an established brand with world wide recognition I can’t imagine anyone really putting that at risk.

Can’t you Pete? What if naim didn’t have a choice? (I fancy they didn’t)

Did you have Time Machine running?

@Richard.Dane @Pete_the_painter
Pete as the OP, perhaps after Richard’s post at #137, you and Richard might consider closing this thread, since there are now similar issues being raised on both threads (Tidal playlist issue).

Yes, a good idea S-H. A reminder to all that any feedback for the software team specific to the new app should be posted here:
