Okay, you've confirmed that MC's latest Mac release can still rip a CD mounted in an internal optical drive.
Hopefully someone will post whether they've been successful using MC21 for Mac to rip a CD mounted in an external optical drive.

PC vs. Mac behavior:
When switching between MC20 and MC21, the two do not interact. I make a new zone in MC20, it doesn't show up in 21 and vice versa on the Mac but it does on the PC. On the mac we have to do a library export/import. OK... so the idea is to upgrade to 21 and stay there....
Same for keystrokes. I have a custom keystroke for volume up and down by 1 dB increments. Now I have to remember where that is filed and why it's not in MC21....
Current missing functionality:
Advanced Dither (TPDF) is not yet enabled in Mac

This doesn't work on Windows either. Well, sort of, but not the way you described. When you first install a new major version of MC on Windows, it imports your settings (where possible) from old versions it finds. When going from MC20 to MC21 the settings import is pretty thorough, though in the past there were things that didn't pass over completely, and if you "skip versions" (from MC18 to MC21, for example) then the import is likely to be incomplete.
However, this only happens one time when you first run the new copy of MC21. The settings do not "unify" as you described between the MC20 and MC21 installations.
You are, however, correct that there is a difference here: On Mac, it does not import settings from older versions at all, and you must manually restore them via a Library Backup.

Aha.... Glynor. I assumed that there was synchronization. But even so, that automatic settings import sets the PC version above the Mac version from my point of view.

Agreed. I suspect the reason it doesn't is that on Windows it is the Installer that does that. On Mac, there is no installer.
