QMP won't play CD's, but foobar2000 will

How come?

I've been using QMP for over a year and everything was fine. Recently, however, QMP would just display the Gracenote data but refuse to play CDs, including commercially manufactured CDs, even ones I had used successfully before.

I removed 4.51 and reinstalled it. Still no go. I went through the Help files, but to no avail. Since my other audio functionality worked OK, I began to wonder if my CD player or wiring had gone bad.

I deinstalled 4.51 again and tried foobar2000. What a butt ugly product! Wouldn't you know - it works fine on my CDs.

I'm a long way away from giving up on QMP, though. Anybody have any suggestions?

All I can think of is switching between CD Digital Extraction mode and CD Standard Playback in the CD input plugin configuration.

Thanks! I saw that suggestion yesterday while I was checking other threads for the answer, but while trying to find the right menu panel I went down the wrong path, due to some ambiguous instructions.

Since I have never accessed that menu until just now, how come it got reset to the wrong choice without my intervention? Do you know any software that will have that effect on the Quintessential Player?

Sometimes I honestly think it is the cumulative effect of 38 pieces of software that produce conditions that 37 pieces of software don't.
