I can fix that but this seems to be buried in the data.
You can do it in Roon……
No Roon in the house.
I’ve fix the numbers and order it’s generally not that hard. Try it directly from the app.
It’s an error in the metadata database. The Core just downloads what it finds. I don’t know which metadata field that is in. You could try forcing it to use a different metadata source although it’s probably used Rovi and there seems to be an issue with MusicBrainz currently.
If you really can’t put up with it, then the fix is to copy the files into a sub-folder in the downloads folder (you aren’t allowed to edit stuff in the Music folder but you can copy), then you delete the version in the Music folder using the Naim app and then you use Metadatics or whatever to modify the copy which is now in download.
Oddly enough it was showing the same (different tracks) in the download files even after running it through my Mata program. It doesn’t appear anywhere invisible.
They are the band that have played on other of his albums!
Ah strange how they seem to show randomly on different tracks.
It feels like there is an opportunity for development here, i.e. ability to interact with the metadata further via Core. I have just ripped a copy of Lou Reed NYC Man and a track is correctly listed as being performed by The Velvet Underground, however, should I want to tidy up, i.e. show only song title then this is only viable via the DH provided method.
I am approx 1/3 the way through ripping my CDs, only circa 4k to go and Harvest will be in there so will be interested to see what happens when I get there…
Yes I’d be interested to see what happens as well through it in now

I think you must have the Core set to rip to flac rather than Wav? Changing the track titles in flac does nothing as regards playback. What you could do is delete that CD using the app, change the Core setting to rip to Wav, rip the CD, then change it back to rip all subsequent CDs in Flac if that is what you want.

Hi Dave, the problem is with downloads, not rips, both of which are WAV. Renumbering the tracks in the directory doesn’t fix the problem.
Core looks like this on the iMac:
In Roon, I get this:
In the Naim app, I get this:
Mike downloads are easier to fix than rips. Just get a decent metadata program.
Mike I think the issue you have is that although these are WAVs, they are inside an SMR container which has some metadata too. So changing the filename won’t help, as the streamer will still read the embedded metadata.
So as Pete says, you need a metadata editor and you can run it on a PC or Mac and operate directly into the Core’s downloads folder.

@Pete_the_painter If you select FreeDB, to do the Metadata on the Core, then this should correct it.
So the plot thickens
Did the FreeDB metadata on the Core, work for you ?
No, not so far I’ll give it another try later. It’s not a huge problem and I can live with it if I have to.
Thanks David and @Pete_the_painter. I’ve downloaded Metadatics and have managed renaming tracks (to remove track numbers) easy enough. After a few fails, I’ve managed to correct the track order on the problem file - I had to use the Music Brain lock up feature to rename all the files and this worked.
Anyway, I’m really pleased with this, as I can comfortably move away from Room now and be able to fix the random metadata issues that crop up with downloads. So thank again to you both for the help.
This all came about by comparing Roon local streaming versus the Naim app local streaming. The Naim method clearly sounds better, by removing the iMac Roon Core from the data stream. I originally went with the Uniti Core specifically to get the audio stream away from my computers, so it’s good to get back to this basic principle.
