I have recently aquired a NOS Sony VGP-XL1B that I would like to use to rip my CD collection to my PC using the 64 bit version of Windows 7. I am able to load CDs into the changer just fine. The problem is that I am not able to get the changer to start reading the CDs. The dBpoweramp software recognizes the drive that the machine is connected to: J: [MASHITA-DVD-RAM SW-9584], but not the discs. I get the message to <Insert Audio CD>, even though there are discs in the machine. Am I missing something in the setup that's required to get dBpoweramp to control the changer?

I've read where some people say that they had to get dBpoweramp to scan their CDs first before they can rip them. I don't see this option. Is that the same as the Rip option?

Thanks, Bill.
