(EDIT: Ripper 64 bit)
I bought the package some months ago (under another mail account than I use for this forum), and lately, with 7.0, I encountered the following problem which now PERSISTS with 7.1:
The program asks the 3 metadata sites for the correct metadata for the current CD, that's ok. But often now, with the third site, which is MusicBrainz ("Retrieving CD Metadata, Reading: MusicBrainz"), Ripper is simply stuck, i.e. it will never display any other window then, e.g. the "Manual" window, and even when I put in another CD, I will have to first close the program and reopen it, and, according to factors I don't know, sometimes I even have to shut down and reboot my pc (W10 Pro latest English, i7, 16GB).
I had hoped the problem - which only occurred after I had ripped several hundred CDs - would vanish by the install of the update version, but it seems it's striking even more often now.
The problem seems to be bound to CDs that cannot be (easily) identified, but then, after even MusicBrainz (=the latest of the 3 sites) cannot identify it, the "reading MusicBrainz" window should be closed after some seconds or after some minutes at least, and I should have the possibility to do it "manually", with that window, instead of having to close the program and even, often, reboot the pc.
In such cases, often the MusicBrainz "reading" page even lists the tracks, but just the lengths, not the artists/titles, and pretends it's in AccurateRip, with the according symbol, but nothing then happens.
The "Reading" window then never changes to the window where at its top there are all these fields, and in which I then, if it was available, I could click on the metadata symbol in order to get the "manual" page to further proceed.
(I also discovered that the replace table just works with single replacements, i.e. I cannot replace the frequent ": " with a " - " (technically, the single ":" by 2 chars " -"), but it's either " " or "-", not both, so I always have to do this manually, and that ":" occurs very often, in compilations or "best of" discs.)
