Here are some of the more serious outstanding problems with MC 9:
1) System lockup when running visualizations (2-D). This makes visualization totally unusable.
2) Visualization studio completely unusable on WinMe. The right-hand pane is blank and clicking on the items in the left-hand pane changes nothing.
3) Crashes occasionally when starting playback: "MJ caused error in PLAYBACKENG.DLL..."
4) If you let MC 9 eject after ripping, then it won't recognize a new disk you insert unless you eject the new one and re-insert it. Then sometimes it will crash.
5) If you eject a disk that's playing, instead of just stopping play (like MS Media Player does) you get a YES/NO/CANCEL dialog box where the NO choice does nothing useful, the YES choice gets you back to where you started and the CANCEL allows you to go on to something else.
