As of the latest build available on Sunday (I think 161) this bug did not show up:
When I went to CDs, DVDs and Handhelds and selected my CD player, it gave me an error "Failed to find any CD=R/W devices on your system". It continued to recognize the disc and let me rip it. It gave me the error numerous times, including after the ripping was done.
I think somebody else posted a similar problem a day or two ago. My drive is a CD-ROM only for my Dell Inspiron, but the drive is manufactured by Toshiba.
Otherwise,
Thanks,
Dan "da Man"
I am seeing this also... And it is really a anoying.
