I've come to terms with this very powerful program and I have not been heard from for a while.  But I have a problem that just stumps me.

When ripping a disc (CD) MC provides a rather compact list of files, and one by one it shows which are being ripped.

But all of a sudden (I must have clicked on something) each file is now occupying about half of the space in the content panel.  It's mostly empty space with a large quarter note at the left and the name of the track on top.  So two of these appear, though the rest can be scrolled.   It stays this way until all files are ripped.  Then the Panel converts into the normal column mode.

I've tried everything and I would appreciate it if some one could tell me how to restore the simple and compact list of files while they are being ripped.

Thank you.

It is a bit hard to be sure without an image, but it sounds like the View that displays while a CD is being ripped has been changed from the Details View to a Thumbnails View.

When you are next ripping a CD and this view shows, hover your mouse over the drop-down menu on the View tab, then under "List Style" select "Details".

If that isn't it, capture an image of what you see during a RIP and post it here.

In case the above isn't clear, I ripped a CD and set it to a List Style of Thumbnails, then showed the menu where this can be changed. See the attached image.

Thank you for your response.  Attached is a screen shot of what I have been experiencing today.  As you can see, I don not have a "List Style" option under the "View" tab (assuming I'm looking in the right place).

I appreciate your help.

assuming I'm looking in the right place

Nope.

Hover over the little triangle (disclosure triangle) pointing down that the green and red arrow is pointing to in this new image. Then you will see List Style, and then you can pick "Details".

It looks like you have selected a List Style of "Tiles" at some stage.

Got it. 

On my screen I have to hover over the title of the album just below the Player Bar to get the "List Style".

Thanks.

Yes, the Album title or the disclosure triangle. Both work.

In my image the title of the Album was "Greatest Hits", which is right next to the disclosure triangle.

I'm glad it's fixed.
