In installed the newest beta of MC after the same issue occured in MC9.
Heres the deal:
1) MC9 will not let me rip CDs, i get the error "Open drive failed. Parameter is out of range."
2) When I try to just play a CD in MC9, i get this error message "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Please make sure that the path in the Media Jukebox library points to the right location."
I know that it is not a cd nor cd drive issue as it works with other software, and plays cds fine.
Also, I do have a cd burner, but for some reason MC is not registering it. My machine has only one cd player, and its a CDR. It works fine with other applications too.
