I described my latest (8.0.272) ripping problems in the 8.0.272 beta thread, but I've reverted back a couple of versions and the previous behavior with those versions is now different - so I thought I would summarize briefly in case the info helps (and in case someone has a suggestion).

My first beta was 8.0.265. I could rip with my primary CD-ROM (Lite-On LTN486 48x Max) but not in digital-secure mode (which was my preference, since it was the only thing that was completely reliable for non-pristine CDs under MJ 7.2). Digital-secure worked ok with my second drive (but past experience makes me not trust that drive).

I upgraded to 8.9.267 and the behavior did not change.

I upgraded to 8.9.272 and ripping didn't work at all. MJ started OK and seemed fine. When I inserted a CD and try to access it, I get the "gathering information, preparing display" popup but MJ then freezes. Every minute or so my entire system freezes for about 10 seconds. I couldn't terminate MJ and to resort to hardware reset.

I removed 8.9.272 and installed 8.9.265 (or 8.9.267). Now I don't get the freezing behavior, but ripping no longer works at all and I get a "failed to get track info". EAC still works just fine. Furthermore, my second drive now doesn't work at all, even reading standard data disks -- I suspect that this is a coincidence but I'm mentioning it anyway.

So it would appear that installing 8.9.272 resulted in something irreversible.

Naturally, I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Sounds like it might be a CDDB problem. Install the full installation package from the downloads page, then install the upgrade package from this interact page. Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Hi John T.

Thanks for the follow-up.

The freezing behavior disappeared with 273 (see my post on that beta release), but the original problems remained (digital-secure not working).  

I re-installed in the manner you suggested, but the situation is the same, namely:

Digital secure does not work for (CDROM: Lite-On LTN486 48x Max); message: failed to read sector _; Incorrect Function); ripping works in other modes.

However, digital secure DOES work, albeit slowly, if I am simultaneously playing a track from the same CD (very cool)! That's gotta suggest something.
