The "Eject CD after copying" seems not to work :blink:

ooops that was a mistake, the cd was ejected on a later day :)

but again what i noticed was, it doesn't say anymore "CD Quality" in 64kbps in the copy music options :o
also the default setting is set at 128kbps!

did M$ go back by technology or what :blink: ?
