I could also use Jriver Media Center 20.
Thanks

Do you see the MinimServer top-level menu in the Naim app? What choices does it contain? Can you post a screenshot?

Simon,
Thanks.
I can see the top level menu and under "untagged" I have found the files I was looking for and I played them.
How do you suggest I tag them? Which software should I use?
Kind regards
Giuseppe

If you have the WAV file in FLAC format, you can do a FLAC to WAV conversion using a converter program such as dBpoweramp. This will convert the audio data and will also copy the tags from the FLAC file to the WAV file.

Mp3tag is a good tagging program for Windows. It supports most file formats including DSF. Unfortunately, it doesn't support WAV tags.

You should be able to tag WAV files using JRiver. After doing this, make sure you select the option in JRiver to write the metadata into the audio file.

Simon,
Once I have tagged (modified the metadata) with Jriver, how do I save the changes or, as you say, select the option in Jriver to write the metadata into the audio file?
Thanks for your patience.

Simon,
The issue is now solved.
I have retagged the files using an OS X app from Apple App Store. It is called Metadatics. Now the files are visible to MinimServer and the NDX plays them alright.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best
Giuseppe
