Hi,
I seem to be having trouble with getting MC31 to auto-rip my CDs.

I am fairly new to MC as a whole.  I am running the current version of MC31 (31.0.12) on a MacMini M2 running the current version of Ventura (13.3.1).  I am using an external DVD/CD RW external drive for CDs.

I have set MC as the default for audio disks on Mac settings and set the auto-rip option (along with the other automatic options for looking up CD info, etc.) under options.

So far, inserting a disk does not initiate ripping.  To rip the disk, I need to click several times in different places, including Actions>Rip, Drives&Devices>CD.  After waiting a while for the new disk to load and its info to populate, I can click on Rip to rip the disk.

I would note that I can go directly to Drives&Devices>CD once the CD is inserted.  However, I then need to click “Rip” twice.  The first click opens the Rip CD window in the lower left, the second click initiates CD ripping.

What am I missing here?  This is a lot of clicks (and waiting) for a task that should be fairly automatic (if the auto-rip settings worked).

Thanks,
Dan

Giving this a bump, since I would love to fix this, if possible.

I have tested granting MC31 full disk access under the Ventura security settings (this was already turned on, but I turned it off to see if this had an impact - it made things worse).

Is it possible that Auto Rip doesn’t work with non-Apple DVD/CD drives?  If so, that’s a bummer. In any case, the requirement to click so many buttons to get the ripping started is unnecessary.  I am hoping that this can be fixed in a future revision.
Thanks,
Dan

Ripping on Mac is a lot better than it was but there still could be issues like this.

The system setting for this should probably be, on inserting a audio disk, to "do nothing". MC should be able to pick it up on it's own.

Will check into this when time allows.

Thanks!
Yes - I tried it on "do nothing" (and in "open other applications" pointing to MC31).  In both cases, MC31 doesn't seem to recognize that there is a disk until I click on the DVD drive under "Drives & Devices".  At that point, it scans the disk, but doesn't start to rip until I click on the button.

I appreciate any help with this.

Best,
Dan

Tried fixing file/disk access.  Did not fix the problem.
I suspect that it has something to do with a third party DVD drive and how it is recognized by Mac OS and MC31, but not positive.
