I bought a brand new Lite-On 24102B 24x10x40 CDRW drive but it does not work with MJ 7.x.  It sees the drive in the drive list but I cannot play audio CD's in this drive.  Nothing happens when I hit the "Play" button.  When I put in the audio CD, I get a pop-up asking me if I want MJ to play all of the audio CD, I answer yes.

Everything else about the drive seems to be working fine.  e.g. I have no problems if I play the audio CD with WMA 7.1.

I am running Windows 2000 and the latest licensed MJ 7

CD writer support is improved in 8.0.  Worth a try.  It's in the thread called "MJ 8.0.xxx" beta available".

Also, explore settings in MJ for "digital playback" of CD's.

This problem does not have anything to do with the new CDRW since MJ does not play audio CD's on either CD drive that I have, the Lite-On CDRW nor a Mitsumi CDROM.

When I try to rip an audio CD, I get the following error:
"Read track failed. Not initialized"

The same audio CD plays w/o problems when I use WMP.
ANd now I am running XP instead of 2000.

I have now updated to MJ 8.xxx

Thanks for your help JimH, I thought I checked the Digital playback when I upgraded to MJ 8.  BUT when I switched it to digital playback on WMP, it said it was going back to analog playback for some reason.  It did not playback in digital too.

And the same thing in MJ 8, it would not playback in digital mode.

I have another system upstairs which runs Windows 2000 which can run (using Pioneer DVD drive) digital.  Where do I go find out when I can use digital, how I can use digital (I thought the audio and digital cables were no longer needed with Windows 2000 and XP).  Well I'm off to find out more about how digital audio works on a PC.


So now I am confused.
