Whoa.
Just formatted my drive: new mobo, new CPU, the whole deal. So, this is about as clean an install as it gets, in sum (Win XP pro, full updates, to include WMP 9). I cannot get this build to work. This is my first installation of it, restored license, recreated (did not restore) the library of files, and here's what happened:
1st attempt to rip a CD, several tracks came out listed as complete gobbledygook, and then MJ crashed. On restart, the same thing happened, but I managed to get some tracks available for ripping (MJ ignored the gobbledygook ones). It ripped, got a few tracks in, and crashed.
OK, maybe it was the CD. Tried again with another. This one couldn't be found on YADB and I entered into an infinite loop of OK dialogs informing me of that fact. I three-fingered out of MJ to quit that.
Restarted again. Changed prefs to CDDB, and it was found. After lookup, MJ crashed catastrophically again.
Fired up WMP9, and ripped the discs just to see if it was the discs somehow. Nope. Both were looked up and ripped flawlessly.
Soooooo, this is not so good. MJ is effectively unusable for me at this time. Hope you guys can get another build out soon.
