Only posting because the other threads go back several software versions and several years ago.

Since installing 17.3, CD Ripper has stopped talking to the scanner. Yes, it's set as default, it's powered on, and it is accessible by other software like Paint and GIMP. When I click on the option in Ripper, I can see a second or so of the window where you can tell it's trying to run a script, and then it disappears and nothing happens.

Again, this is only since 17.3. It worked flawlessly before then. And other than this apparent bug, I absolutely love the Poweramp suite.
