I agree that it seems silly for naim to use an unusual name that wont be recognised by others servers but they may be trying to make it difficult to switch away from their own server and keep the metadata complete. Most would probably accept the situation and stick with their naim server rather than try to find a solution. I read of quite a few people selling the old naim unitiserve once they had ripped their cd collection, so maybe naim are trying to stop a repeat of this? It would be great for myself and probably many others in the future if "coverfront.png" could be added to the minimserver list.

Rompolompo,
I cant do a bulk rename as far as I know (being a bit of a computer novice) because the metadata is naim written and as mentioned above, seems to follow their own rules and protocols. There are far too many folders to individually name.
If Naim really would want to lock its customers in, there are far better and more intelligent ways to do it. As Rompolompo says, a simple file rename will solve the issue in about 30 minutes including testing. Google for something like "file rename script" and you'll get plenty of hits.

More importantly, if Naim do not follow the standards here, where else in your metadata have they deviated? Is everything else looking the way you would expect?
