MP3 CD burning is not fixed yet. The discs are unusable because of the defective filenames and converter problems. The details are in the 11.0.231 thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=26891.msg186561#msg186561

EDIT

I forgot to mention in my report the naming options I used:

Filename: [Artist]_[Name]_[Album]_[Track #] , "Prefix the list order" enabled
Folder: None
Advanced ISO & Jolliet: ISO Version 1 plus Jolliet

"Show list" function shows only the normal ".mp3" endings in the CD Filename field. The ".MP3 Encoder" endings appear later on the burned disc.

MP3 Disk Options: MP3 Encoder, "Allow wma..." and "Force conversions..." were unticked.

"Mini View (Escape)" tooltip for toolbar Mini View icon incorrect.

The following seems buggy to me.

I often use the following function:
right-click on song > Library Tools > Rename Files from properties.
In the pop-up one can set a rule for naming directories and the filename.
All rules work with a default that can be changed. This works for 'base path' and the rule for the file name. But if I blank out the rule for directories this will not be saved as a default.
In other words: my rule for directories is empty, but it keeps bringing back something else. Each time I have to change it to 'empty'.

I added some details to my earlier MP3 CD burning problem post.

We could see the problem and it's fixed now.  Thanks.

I'm having a problem burning some flac files to CD.  I choose 11 tracks and send to CD (a DVR-108).  When I start burning, the progress bar show writing the lead-in, then it runs through track 11 very quickly, writes -out and ejects without objection.  This all happens relatively quickly.  It appears that the CD has only the first few seconds of each track on it. 

Thanks for any tips,
greg

3. Fixed: iPod long filename and foreign character added and corrected.

No.

I still have files with long filenames that won't play on the iPod unless I renamed them like this:

[Track #]-Mid([Name], 0, 24)

Ripping:

Rip from 2 cds at a time and while it is looking up the info for one in the yadb, you get a dialogue from the other saying that it failed to find info for it. Then you right click on that volume andask it to look again and it finds it... but, you have to F5 refresh for it to update the tree.

Refreshing as a whole:
After renaming a file, genre etc. it shouldnt be necessary to manually refresh the panes, tree etc. This is confusing for new users and makes them wonder if they have tagged something correctly or not.
