Well, I have found some unusual problem with, I guess, the MP3 encoder. I just downloaded MC9, put it work (it is doing fine). I had a couple of CDs to rip, and I was waiting to upgrade because Mj8 didn´t work well with czech acents.
Anyway, I ripped the first one without a single glitch. Put the second one and MC9 stopped responding. After a long time, it gives a general windows error message and crashes. I tried three times, rebooted the computer, tried again. Always the same.
To make sure the problem wasn´t with some weird interaction of the drive with the CD, I opened the Windows Media Player and tried to rip the CD. Worked perfectly well, without a single problem.
So, I decided to import the wma files into MC9, correct the names, directories and stuff and then convert files to MP3. The program decoded the first file, and when it started to encode, crashes the same way it did when I was trying to rip the CD before. Any ideas? My system info follows:
