My mistake, no I had the 969 version.

Before I came back and saw your message, I uninstalled MM again, and went back to 2.5.1 which worked fine.

Then afterwards, I came back here to tell you and saw your message. So I installed the 974 version and tried again, and this also worked.

So, it appears all is well.

Thank you for the unbelieveable support, and thank you for saving me from having to use Helium ever again (yuk!).

Bummer,

I just tried reinstalling, and not only didn't it fix the CD Burning problem, but my carefully crafted window layout and column settings were lost.

So no CD burns, and lots of time to get my MM set up back to the way it was.

As I said, Bummer!

Unfortunately that is not the case on my system. I just instaled the beta version and have the same lock up problem.

It's very sad to have to leave the comfort of Media Monkey, to the convoluted world of Helium just to burn a CD.

This used to work fine, if not very elegently, until the new burn engine was installed.

Sleepy,

Hicks was testing an hpCDBurn.dll that I'd mailed. We'll be coming out with a new build today or tomorrow that includes the fix.

If you want to give it a try, it's at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/testtools/hpCDBurn3.zip

hicksenterprises, what patch are you talking about?

Just installed the latest patch from Russell and I am now burning without any delay in Beta 2

Amazing support and persistance on the part of
"The cracker jack Monkey veterinarians"

I am very glad to be a part of the MM group.

Russell - Thank you for solving my problem.

Stand by guys..... The cracker jack Monkey veterinarians are coming out with the antidote very soon !!!

Well you got the version numbers messed up but here is why.

2.5.2 didn't have burning problems
2.5.3 introduced changes to burning which is causing problems
2.5.4b's are trying to solve this issue, but haven't for all.

As 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.5.4 are nearly identical you can install an older version over a newer version without having trouble. As you installed the older 2.5.2 you can now burn again.

Hey everyone I found a solution that may work for now.

I was having the some problem with the CD burner that many of you described. I would try to burn a CD without success. I even left my machine overnight and it did not burn!

After reading the other posts I tried to download the beta, without anything changing. I then tried to download the older version of 2.5.2.

Just for fun I tried to install it without uninstalling 2.5.9. No the about tab still shows the version as 2.5.9, bu the burner is working fine now.

Basically I installed 2.5.6, downloaded and installed 2.5.9 beta, then downloaded and installed 2.5.2. Now the burner works fine!

I don't know how or why, but it worked. Maybe the moderators could tell us a little better why, but give it a shot, it worked for me

I reinstalled 2.5.2 and it burns fine.

Think I'll stick with it until the burn issue is resolved.

All 6 apps freeze my computer on startup.

Running MM 2.5.4.971 in WinXP Pro
Just for fun, I booted in Safe mode, opened MM, highlighted one song ("Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield") , Hit Tools/burn CD/DVD....

MM went to not responding right away, but what I thought was interesting was that task manager said "What's the Frequency? Kenneth - by R.E.M - Media Monkey" Not Responding

So for some reason the current "now playing" song from a previous startup of MM seemed to be the song that Burn CD engine was looking for, not the highlighted song I had selected. Don't know for sure if this is is really happening but first, I would have expected task manager to just say "Media Monkey" not reponding, and second, if a song filename was to be shown I would have expected it to be the song highlighted for burning.
