    Genres with changed names are shown with old names

    I've given genres a new name in my Swinsian music database (for exemple from Dubstep to EDM Dubstep).
    Then in Asset I cleared the Asset database and let it build up a new one. However in the app (Focal & Naim) I use to control my Naim streamer) I see the old Genre names.
    I've no idea what to do. I even don't have a clue whether it is an Asset problem or a Focal&Naim problem. Please help.
    Thank you,

    ⁃ Asset UPnP Release 2025-03-12
    ⁃ Swinsian music library
    ⁃ Focal & Naim app latest version
    ⁃ Mac Powerbook M4

    Have you cleared the cache in the Naim app?

    Depending on what format you're using there's various ways to check the tags from the command line, but it's probably easiest to use foobar2000 (free) or Mp3tag.

      If you’ve updated genres in Swinsian and rebuilt the Asset database but still see old genres in the Focal & Naim app, try clearing the app’s cache or restarting it. Double check the genre tags in a tool like Mp3tag to confirm they’re written into the files, not just Swinsian’s library. If everything checks out, the issue might be the app or streamer not fully syncing with Asset yet.

        Many thanks, issue solved. I keep in mind the tag tools you mention.
        After I've made a minor change to the name of the Swinsian music library I've forgotten to redirect Asset. But when opening Asset I still saw the content of the 'old' database, even after rebuilding the library. So Asset rebuild a non-existant library and showed the content of it.

        This new version of Asset gives me another problem. The Naim app shows the music titles but I can't play it. I tried it on another Android phone and Android version and on an iPad. Still not playing music.
        Then I used an iMac with a previous version of Asset and no problem at all. So I guess it might be a problem with the new version installed on a Macbook Pro M4. I will start a new thread on this subject.
