The title says it all.

I have my MC20 up and going pretty well playing files from the HD.

I have a Macintosh USB superdrive.

Put in a CD.

Click Drives and Devices on the left panel click the CD Drive and get the message: "there is no disc. Double click here to refresh" OR I click in the top panel "refresh" and all the thing does is play the first file.

OR in the to menu bar: file>quick play>devices and drives, click the CD drive and get the message: This selection has no playable files.

OR top menu bar: file>Open media file> and select either one or all the files on the CD> Click Open and the thing only ever plays the first file selected.

I saw the old advice about going to Tools>Options>CD and select Autoplay, but this option does not exist.

Using Finder I can only play one file at a time (right click on multiple select files just gives Quick Look option even though I have JRiver selected as the program to play aiffs, etc.

Any help please most gratefully received. Driving me mad after about whenever MC20 became available.

Regards,
George

The methods you've described seem to work on MC23.  At least File > Quick play > drives and devices > (my cd drive shows up here) .

If you're just previewing CDs, you might want to use VLC or something similar instead.  If you actually want to listen to CDs using MC, I guess that's different.  I personally find no need to ever do so, but you might have some use case that I don't.

BTW, I did my experiments with an external BD/DVD/CD drive; not an Apple product, but it works great with everything I use it for on my Mac.

Good luck.

Brian.
