Quick recap re. my previous post:
The problem I experienced was similar, but doesn't quite match audiofil's problem...
For me, I was trying out data dvd burning from within MC using dvd+rw discs. After the burn finished and all had been refreshed, the volume label was added to my cd\dvd catalogue. I wasn't entirely happy with the results, so I erased the disc and tried again. Even though I had removed [volume label] from my library, MC would not allow me to set the same volume label. Even though it was not in my library, MC would insist on appending (x) to the end.
I found all of this very hard going and gave up for a while. Maybe once I get v10 installed and working I'll enter the arena for another try.
I tried to replicate audiofil's problem here using the latest 9.1 build and an old data dvd (not mc burned) and can report that, like you king, it all worked as expected.
So, things audiofil needs to do to receive more help on this.....
1. Are you using the latest MC 9.1 build?
2. Have you tried using a standard cdfs written data cd (r or rw) as opposed to a udf, packet written disc?
3. open MC, click "help > system info" and paste that into your next post.
Personally, I'm leaning heavily towards the theory that there is either something amiss with the disc, causing MC to think it's a new one each time it sees it..
or
MC is having trouble with the udf format.
-marko.

No joke audiofil, John T is MC's cd burning guru. Extremely helpful, extremely knowledgeable.
If you have found a bug, he will fix it.
