I have no idea why it worked for me but gave "off" results for you. Your settings, drives, CD, etc are all different. Mine was a "first try," but it produced a result showing that it "worked"--a file that played and sounded fine-- which was my sole objective. I personally hate ripping CDs, too much screwing around and "error checking" and auto-tagging which is why I wouldn't think of offering support for ANY rip operation on MB. I'll leave that to the experts.
