Hi guys...

This is a problem that I'm having... I can't play audio or rip cd's under 133... I reinstalled and nothing. Installed 131 and all worked...

WMP can play CD's too and so I can't for the life of me think what the problem is.

Anyone else with similar gripes?

yup, same here.
Insert audio cd, MC opens and successfully does it's YADB lookup, then hangs with "waiting" in the player control window.
Attempting to rip said cd results in a "drive cannot be opened" type of error.

Same problem here. Waiting and buffering, but not playing audio cd's.

Sorry for the hassles. We changed the way drives are accessed and broke it for some drives. Please try the next build and let us know if it's fixed.
Thanks.
