11. Conclusion 

Naim have addressed the major shortcomings of Music 
Servers so far offered to the market, and in so doing 
have created a totally new concept in convenient 
playback of archived digital music.   
 
Searching for material is often quicker than finding the 
Album in a well organised music library, while the 
profound level of information displayed by the Hard Disc 
Player while playing music rivals the CD sleeve notes for 
convenience and sheer user delight.   
 
Multiple control interfaces make the most of the 
metadata available according to the type of user and 
application.  
 
The benefits of the extended metadata and convenient 
operation even extend to CD Albums which have not 
been archived to Hard Disc: simply loading a CD in 
Player mode brings up the extended metadata and cover 
art on a variety of interfaces direct from the online 
database.
