MC no longer works after installing High Sierra [Solved]

While testing I used a moderately small library of 50 or so CD. I own over a thousand, most of which have been ripped in AIF format to iTunes. I wanted to finish ripping the collection using JRiver, with its ripping.

Importing the library took about five hours. Once it was done, I could play music and rip new songs. But in trying to rip a DVD to the Movies folder, JRiver said my SuperDrive was only a CD and couldn't mount the device. OSX disagreed and was willing to play the DVD for me. DVD Audio Extractor had no issues identifying the drive.

Today I decided to make the move to High Sierra. Now the only thing I can do in JRiver is open it and view my lovely cover art collection. Trying to play any song crashes the program. Trying to get it to recognize a CD (no, not DVD...one of the CDs it had already ripped once before) crashes the program.

Oddly enough, I could click on Music, type in an artist name in the search field, select an album, double-click on it and successfully play one sone. As soon as JRM tried to start a second song, it crashed. I've collected crash report from three different crashes. One from trying to play an album from the album list, one from playing a song from the song list and the third after it crashed on the attempt to play a second song after "search and play". All three crash reports point to the same exception type.

Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes:       KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000070000a536ff0
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

The only difference between the three are the memory addresses at which the failures occur. I downloaded the .90 version and overwrote .83 with that. No improvement.

JimH:
To summarize,
MC was working except for ripping DVD's.
and
After the OS was updated, it began to crash.

MC on Mac doesn't rip DVD's.

Thank Apple for the second problem.

We may be able to help you find a way out of the second problem, but please try to be a little patient.

Try re-installing.

Is this an older Mac?

JimH:
Did you try a search for similar problems on the Apple forum?

mwgraves10:
I've searched the Apple forums and I've googled it. Nothing. I wish I'd known I couldn't rip DVDs before I purchased it. I supposed I should have tested. I've completely removed MC23 from the Applications folder and reinstalled, both with 83 and 90. It just won't play music any more.

Awesome Donkey:
For ripping DVDs on Mac, I suggest using MakeMKV to rip the DVDs to .mkv files.
