MC thinks old CD is still in drive when I try to rip new CD

<< < (3/3)

kuyper:
This seems to be a persistent problem across many versions :( I have found no reliable way around it, other than to close and re-launch JRiver; this massively slows down my ripping process :( not to mention means I'm unable to (continuously) listen to music while ripping. Sigh, suppose I'll listen via PleX while ripping (kinda misses the point, eh?)

Platform: Windows 10 x.64

Update: It gets worse - I just quit JRiver (and ejected and re-inserted the disc) multiple times - it's still seeing the prior disc. Reboot next, I guess. This is getting tedious :(

I'm sorry, but I don't think that is a JRiver problem.  OS or drive maybe.

Here's an old thread that talks about the cache that Windows uses when it reads a CD.

I think your problem is similar.  Your drive should flush the cache when it is loaded with a new CD, but it's not doing it.

Another drive might behave differently.  They're not expensive to buy.

What is your current drive?

I'd buy that if it was consistent, but it isn't - sometimes I can rip 15-2 discs in a row without a problem, then it gets "stuck" and I have to jump through all kinds of hoops, and it suddenly works again.

Drive is

I really have no compelling reason to buy another drive, but I'm willing to try - so what drive do *you* have that does not exhibit this behaviour?

I'm on a fully updated Windows 10 64-bit machine, and this problem exists in MC29 and MC31 (just installed 31 today, and it worked fine for 3 discs and then started being petulant again)

This looks cheap and cheerful
