The curse of the bonus track

But you can’t edit the title of a CD rip and hope that ripping it again won’t over-write the existing rip because the Core doesn’t use the album title as the identity indicator, but instead uses the CD number it reads from the CD. And you can’t edit that, at least not in the Naim world you can’t.

That would drive me crazy and per se would render the Core unacceptable for its intended ripping use, IMHO of course.

It isn’t an issue 99% of the time imho. To be clear you can of course edit the album title, but if you re-rip the album, all the edits to that album are lost.

If you really do want to remove some tracks from a ripped CD, then the workaround is to copy the whole album to the downloads folder from the music/MQ folder and then delete the ripped album from the music/MQ folder using the app. Then you can edit the album in the downloads folder in whatever way you like, using whatever software you like. The Core automatically indexes the folder and the results are presented in the app exactly as before but with whatever changes you made.

Thanks David, that looks workable, if a trifle long winded but I suspect I’ll do enough of them to get used to it.
