I just installed 24.0.78 & when my rip completed, the Drive reappeared in the OS & I was able to eject it. MC24 still ignored the setting to eject after rip, but I may need to restart MC again before I know if this is still broken. Just did this once, so hopefully MC is returning control to the OS after a rip!
Update: Worked just the first time I ripped a CD. The next one, after ejecting CD via OS, MC ended RIP in the same way. Not returning control to the OS & not ejecting the disc. Trying again with the eject feature turned off. Nope, still broken!
