How to find CD drive and rip to FLAC
blgentry:
Let's begin with what you described about launching MC. That thing with "Package installer" isn't normal for MC startup. I kinda think you might be running the MC installer and not MC itself.
When you download MC it will be a DMG file. When you double click on that, the DMG will "mount" (kind of like a virtual disk drive). In the window that opens you'll see an MC icon and the Applications icon. To install it, you just drag MC into the applications folder. WHen it's done, MC will be in Applications and it's ready to run from Applications. Now, eject the DMG. It will show as a mounted disk in Finder. Just press the eject button next to it's name and it will disappear.
To run MC, go to Applications, find Media Center and double click it.
Once MC is running correctly, I hope the CD drive thing will sort itself out.
Good luck.
Brian.

Thanks for your continued help. Pretty sure it's installed ok (I'm not a Mac novice). I'm starting the app (and I'll correctly call it MC from now on, like you) by running it (Media Center 19) from Applications.
Does JRiver allow me to easily uninstall and reinstall MC?
Edited to add: I deleted the app and re-installed from my downloaded dmg. Behaves the same way.
Edited to add 2: Looking at About MC, I appear to have Media Center 19.0.163. Yet the download links seem to suggest I should be on v25. Do I have the wrong version?
Edited to add 3: it's like you're watching my dumb mistakes. I must have downloaded from a stale link. I now have MC25 and sure enough I can see a Rip Disc option. Going to play with that now.
Tyak:
Alright, I'm on v25 and things are still a little messy.
I see Rip Disc. I've previously adjusted File Locations etc.
I started ripping. Things appear to be going well.
But twice now the CD is ejected before all the tracks are ripped, and I get an error saying "Read track failed. Parameter is out of range".
Everything seems fine other than the CD getting ejected.
blgentry:
I'm happy to hear that you got a modern version of MC and mostly have it working. :)
I don't use MC to rip CDs; I use a different application that I've been using for several years now. That symptom of "parameter out of range" sounds familiar. But doing a web search for that I didn't turn up anything that seems directly related. I'm not sure what's going on.
Maybe Bob or another employee of JRiver can help point you in the right direction.
Brian.
Tyak:
OK - I'll wait to hear from one of those guys.
Out of interest - you're on a Mac yes? Are you ripping to FLAC, and if so what app are you using? And did you upgrade to Catalina?
Thanks again.
