CD player no longer visible after 5.623 update

jdigital · 26th May 2012, 22:06

I just upgraded WinAmp 5.623 (Pro) from 5.601.
I can no longer see my CD reader/writer on the left hand side in WinAmp (Media Library tab)

The CD player is working properly. If I do WinAmp File > Play Folder, I can select the CD and play it. However, without the CD player in the media library, I can't rip and I can't see all the tracks on the CD.

I just ripped a CD with WinAmp 5.601 right before the upgrade, so I know how this should work. I have rebooted but it made no difference.

Is there some special installation or configuration option that might have been messed up?
Thanks...

Hi

Run the 5.623 installer again, and make sure CD Rip & Burn is checkmarked under the "Winamp Library > Core library components" section on the Choose Components page.

Thanks!!

Before your posting, I ran the installer a second time but didn't see this option. Have just run it again following your suggestion and now it works. Greatly appreciate the quick response!
