11) CD Ripping. I use both versions and I can only effectively rip CDs effectively on the Windows version action menu, then I have to sych my 2x 8TB media drives, to pull it accross to the Linux version and now my main system. Linux version may be able to do this but I have not had it working effectively as yet (~ 12months of trying to pull my CD library in and replace old mp3 with FLAC files).

+1 from me too

CD Ripping works on Linux for me?  Can you describe what specifically is not working?

Sorry - I thought I had posted this on reply to "Feature parity..." thread. Sorry I cant quote links correctly - many years here in the forum but this funky post editor dialog still confuses me.

Thanks mwillems.
Basically the Linux version has trouble recognising disks. In the attachment here I have loaded a 'Shaggy' CD into the drive /dev/sr0. JRiver sees the name of the disk but does not recognise its audio CD and still says 'Insert a disk' in the Rip Disk dialog. Perhaps because its a mixed audio CD with some data on it that was poular in the 90's or something - but I get this often even with straight Audio CD (no data files).

Windows version never has this confusion and will pick it up and rip it with no problem.

On a related note, another bug: device mounts are only accessible if they are present at MC startup. If you mount a device after MC has started it is not detected.

This just got me again too. Just picked up Billy Bragg & Wilco Mermaid Avenue I/II used from a local record shop, and Mermaid Avenue I ripped beautifully, and the second one has no files on it according to MC32  .
