30.0.93 won't start on Mac.
The GUI appears, but then it is beachballing indefinitely with 100% cpu.

Edit:
Ok, I found the "reason".
I had an audio CD mounted, intending to rip. If I remove the CD and restart Media Center, it seems to be ok.
However, if I insert/mount the CD again, the beachball pops up and everything hangs at 100% cpu.
Forever.
I have tried both home-burnt and commercially printed CD's, same thing.

The CD unit is a SAMSUNG Mediatek:

AGAWA:
strange tip.
install one of old MC's, like MC28 or 29. see if it works.
Then install MC30.93
I experienced something like this in the past.
If it works it could mean a bug wth fresh install.

bnilsson11:
MC29 works fine in this respect.
MC30 previous version was definitely a lot more more shaky than MC29, but it worked if you were patient.

I've been using MC for Mac since MC20.  There was a short time when some of my installations of MC would take forever to start and beachball.  Some of them crashed.  All of that turned out to be bad files that MC was trying to import.

During the next 7 years I watched many people report that MC crashed or was slow to start.  Most of them turned out to also have bad files. 

Once I got rid of my bad files, MC has been rather solid.  Sure it will do weird stuff if you press the forward or back button really fast several times in a row.  It's less tolerant of sending audio to DLNA devices than to direct attached USB devices.  But it's generally very stable.  I almost never see a crash.

So, if you can disable auto import, do so.  It might make a big difference.

Best of luck.
Brian.

I always seem to get lost in MC's settings.
How do you disable autoimport from an inserted CD?
