Hi Ronni, Sorry for the previous premature reply - put it down to a senior moment ;)
- Yes, I'm using iTunes 8.0.1. - I hadn't thought of the preferences because it wasn't a problem that occurred and then stayed - sometimes lots of discs seem to unmount, then sometimes it imports first time for many CDs - I can't seem to see any pattern to it. - However, since you have suggested it, I've given it a go. I had to go through the preferences again - not only import settings but also pointing it to my music folder (on a separate disc partition) - I had a minor panic when it told me it wanted to move things to their correct position (since that's where they already were) but that seemed to go OK. I have since imported a few more CDs with no problem - but given the nature of the problem it is too early to know if it is fixed or not. Anyway, thanks for the idea Ronni - I've got my fingers crossed & I will let you know how it is going down the track. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
