I can pull rank here.  Mine is the sort that goes with file.  Somehow,
you've all managed to get it wrong.  Naxos is already a plural.  I have
Weetos for breakfast, then I listen to my Naxos.  Very few people have only
one of these excellent recordings, which is why you hardly ever hear of
just one Naxo.

It's the same with Chandos.

Naxos is a variant spelling of nachos, nothing to do with Aegean isles.
