I’m a Naim newbie - have recently acquired a Uniti Star and have almost finished ripping my CD collection to a 1TB SSD connected via the rear USB. So a lot of work done, that I don’t want to lose.
So,
Q1: There isn’t (or at least does not seem to be) any provision for backing up the music store via the Star. I’m assuming I need to unplug the SSD from the Star, connect it to my PC and use something like Acronis True Image to clone the drive to a blank SSD. If this isn’t the best approach, can someone please educate me? And if this is the best solution, are there any pitfalls I need to avoid?
Q2: In the ripping process, a lot of my CDs (say 5%) have acquired odd metadata (French, German sleeve notes; dubious genre classifications; missing album art; etc) and quite a lot (say 5-10%) reported ripping errors. So I need to start down the path of editing tags, supplying artwork, and trying to recover the failed tracks. I’m a beginner here as well (confident with IT and coding etc but new to the world of MP3 tags, so happy to have a go and learn what needs to be learned). The reviews I’ve read suggest that MusicBrainz Picard is a good editor to use. Opinions please, and, again, if Picard is the way to go, anything to be careful with?
I’ll be pleased to get any input on these topics!
