Tom, I asked earlier if you were using Window-Eyes. I was thinking you did, and if so, there has been a problem with identifying some of the buttons on the "Now Playing" window which is where the "rip" button is. If this is the case, you could either check the "RIP Automatically" box or you could try NVDA which does detect this button. This is a known issue for Window-Eyes and it will be corrected.
I was thinking, though, that when you put the CD in that there are options to display information about the CD even if you don't rip. I thought if you were seeing CD information that it would mean that at least in some cases CD information is being retrieved. This would insure that the problem of not getting information was associated with CDEX and not with a problem with the CD itself.
