Can you please retry with the latest MediaMonkey 2024.2 release?

However, you're interacting with a Windows (Auto-Play presumably) dialog when this happens?

Thanks for prompt response.

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey and is MediaMonkey closed when you insert the CD?

Look up metadata during CD load/rip process

I've just come back to MM after a few years away and like all the updates. I set my PC to handle CDs inserted by "ripping in Media Monkey" as the default option.

Most of the time things go to plan but if I insert a CD that initially isn't recognised, I get the "convert files" screen with \unknown\unknown etc. Then a pop up window appears "look up audio CD meta data" often with the correct album and track info. If I press OK, that window disappears but the "convert files" window is still there but with the \unknown\unknown file names.

In the folder window, I can see that the CD drive now recognises the album from the downloaded tags, eg J:\[John Doe - Greatest Hits] but I must first cancel the convert files window then reselect TOOLS/RIP AUDIO CD to get the correct tags to file name as the imported tags don't overwrite the \unknown info in that window. If I just pressed OK to the convert, I'd have to search and tag the tracks after ripping.
