naim for PC

The Naim app's tile-based music browser and playlist controls work better on a computer screen, where you can see album artwork clearly and keep the app open alongside email or a web browser. Naim gives you wireless command over all your Naim network-connected players (from the Mu-so to the Uniti line) letting you play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume across multiple rooms without switching to your phone every time.

Running Naim on a PC reshapes how you manage your music library and connected devices. Instead of reaching for your phone, you stay at your desk with a persistent window showing your music sources, playlists, and room controls. The app's interface becomes more navigable on a larger display, and you can save your most-used stations and playlists directly to your home screen for instant access.

Setting Up Your Naim Devices

Naim's network wizard simplifies the initial connection between your PC and compatible Naim players. Once your device appears on the network, you'll configure room positions (away from or close to boundary walls) and adjust EQ settings to match your acoustic environment. Loudness control and illumination settings can be tweaked from your computer, and software updates for your Mu-so or other Naim hardware roll out directly through the app without needing a separate tool.

Playing Music from Every Source

The app consolidates input across UPnP, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Internet Radio, USB, and digital or analog inputs into one unified player. You browse music through album artwork tiles, build playlists, and save internet radio presets to your home screen. On a computer, these controls remain instantly available: you can queue up your next album while answering messages, then return to the app to skip or adjust playback without breaking your workflow.

Multiroom Control and Volume Management

If you own multiple Naim products (a Mu-so in one room and a Uniti device in another) the app lets you group them for synchronized playback or control each independently. Local and group volume adjustments are accessible from your PC, so you manage your entire Naim ecosystem from a single screen. This is particularly useful during longer listening sessions, where your computer remains powered and logged in to the app throughout the day.

Compatible Naim Hardware

Naim for PC works with the full range of network-connected players, including the Mu-so, Mu-so Qb, Uniti Atom, Uniti Star, Uniti Nova, ND 555, NDX 2, ND5 XS 2, and older Uniti or NDS models. Your streamer must be updated to version 4.6 or later, and your PC needs Android 5.0 or above running through an emulator. Verify your Naim device is connected to your Wi-Fi network before launching the app.
