Drag'n'drop CD-ripping is by far no new feature of KDE 3.4.

I would gladly pay if KDE could deliver on the marketing front.

But it seems my $20/year donations are not going to help much unless more people do the same.

Interesting comparison between KDevelop and Visual Studio.

as you might know, type just in konqi (when focussed on the webpage): / post article

Or better even, type 'post (single quote, post)

That searches only for links.

I've got the same problem and finally got it solved. Just right click on Data, then clear layout, and make sure on "option" (under the "Data CD Option"), File system is JOLIET and CD-ROM Mode is Mode2. Good luck. Amy
