CD - no files found on disc

(1/2) > >>

MajorCyco:
I am running MC 28 on my iMac.  When I insert a CD, I get a message from JRiver that no files were found on the disc.  The files can be read in Finder and through Apple Music.  I went back to MC 27 and am able to open the CDs without an issue.

Does MC 28 support ripping CDs?  The feature is there, just can't use it.

MajorCyco:
Also tried rebooting and verifying my settings in MC 28 are the same as MC 27.  Still can't see CDs.

I haven't tried recently but ripping CDs has been a bit of a toss-up for me in MC. So I switched to XLD for ripping

MajorCyco:
I used to use XLD.  May have to go back as not able to get any MC 28 support.  :(

There are several posts about this in the forums.
The main problem is that the Mac or other apps installed on it will try to control the CD when it's inserted.

In iTunes make sure the "iTunes Helper" isn't being started on login.
In System Preferences under CD's and DVD's set "when you insert a music CD" to Ignore.
In Apple Music the ability to completely remove Apple Music control over the CD has been eliminated by Apple. The best you can do in Apple Music Preferences is to do the following:
Under the General Tab:
Uncheck "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet"
When CD is inserted "Ask to import CD" appears to be the minimal we can do here.

Once you do this, even on Big Sur you should be able to rip without issue.
