I have Assunder CD Ripper installed on my MX-19 OS. I tried to rip a CD,but when i clicked the rip button, i got a screen that said access denied. It worked before,does anyone know how to fix this problem..?

My first thought would be to check if your group permissions has changed. Maybe verify you're still in the optical group? Not sure that's what Asunder uses, but it's my first thought (BTW, the only machine I have it installed on, also Debian although Debian 11, it's still working fine.

You could always try a different app as I use k3b with MX19 KDE.

I finally had time yesterday to mess around with my computer and tried what TL suggested. I checked where the file was going to be downloaded,and found it was going into a system operating file,which I wouldn't want it to go in,anyway. Changed it to my music file,and it worked..! However, CDDB doesn't seem to work. Seems there is a known glitch with MX Linux. I tried changing port numbers,and /dev/sr0, still nothing. It works sometimes with Kb3, but not always.
So...here's a follow up:
I went back into Asunder Preferences and put in the server pathway freedb.freac.org and changed both ports to 80. Works fine now...! :)

So after reading thru a few threads, I may be downloading and using FRE:AC. Seems like a better choice than Asunder. Thanks for the info. It was quite helpful..!

Ive never used Fre:AC. Most of the time I use K3b, depending on the distro XFburn or Brasero.
