iTunes updated and won't rip CDs

[Deleted account 211025001]

I updated my iTunes to 10.1.0.54 last night and now it crashes when I try to rip a CD

Has anybody else had the same happen?

No. Using a Mac here though.

IMHO there is no point ripping a cd with Itunes. Make a copy of the CD you want as it'll be better quality. Or maybe you were trying to rip a CD with lots of tracks?

A CD is better quality than a MP3 whilst an LP is better quality than a CD.... etc

I quite agree and have a reasonably posh hifi for listening to CDs (and LPs) proper loike.

I'm just rippping a load of old CDs to MP3 for my iPhone - worked fine until I did an auto update to the latest version of iTunes. Now it crashes a few seconds into ripping (any) CD

Sorry, can't help... Good luck, I think ITUNES is shite , but have tried a few other programs including mediamonkey and they are no better. So we are shafted

All this isn't strictly true.

If you rip CD's as Apple lossless files rather than MP3 there is no loss or compression & bit perfect. You just need to change the ripping settings in preferences.

Oh and ripping seems fine on my Mac BTW

Indeed, the free programme "audiograbber" is my tool of choice for ripping CDs onto a PC.

Agreed - on both counts

Just to say that my updated (yesterday) itunes is doing the same thing!
Crashes every time.
Anyone any ideas on how to revert to the "old" one?

Just ripped 3 CD's in iTunes 10.1.0.54 with no problems.

My import settings have always been set to 320kbps vbr. Sounds fine in the car. PB

Just un-installed the new copy and reinstalled it.
Gave me GRIEF as it could not find my library. Reimported that (sigh!) and then it copied cd's with no problems.
Bloody i-tunes!!!

Well, in case somebody else experiances the same problem, I've fixed it

iTunes had defaulted to AAC encoding when trying to rip CDs so i set it back to MP3 and all is well again
