Hi folks, I have one CD in my collection of hundreds that I can't add to the Squeezebox because it not only won't rip but it freezes my PC as soon as it goes into the drive. If I eject the CD, control returns.
I know what you are thinking. Turn off the Auto-run for the drive. I can assure you that it is turned off and that I have verified it by checking that the "Autorun value" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom. of the registry has been set to "0". Is there something deeper in the registry I need to adjust so it totally ignores the CD until I open up my ripping software? I suspect that the drive may not be trying to 'run' anything but it is trying to verify that there is a readable CD in there. However, even if you throw a damaged CD in there, it doesn't freeze. In fact, I tried throwing in the clear plastic spacer that came with my carousel of blanks and it didn't freeze. This tells me it is reading some kind of data that is hosing it. I was also wondered if it might be the Sony trojan they were hiding on their CDs for a while. It is a Sony CD but is an early year where I think it wouldn't be present . I checked for the trojan via web instructions but I also just this week, rebuilt my PC after a crashed hard drive. I made sure auto run was set to off and still the PC freezes. Therefore I don't think t would have had a chance to load but who knows how sneaky it might be...
