I have been spending most of the day ripping my audio CDs using KAudioCreator. After each
CD finishes, when I go to push the CD drive's eject button, nothing happens, even
after several tries. I need to open a terminal and use the eject command as root (normal
user doesn't work).
When the CD drive is empty, or before I start ripping the inserted CD, the eject button on
the drive responds immediately.
Can anybody else confirm this? If not, it's probably something on my system. If so,
I'm filing a bug report.

In the KAudioCreator File menu is an option to eject the CD. Normally the drive should
both open and close when selecting that menu option. Does that menu option work at all?

Once my current CD is done, I'll try the one in the menu, though considering the
button didn't work, I doubt the menu entry would.

Test the menu option without a CD. That is all I did here. I'll see whether I can find
time to actually rip a CD and let you know more.

It won't eject an empty drive, either with the button or
with the menu button.

Okay, I rebuilt kdemultimedia and now have a kaudiocreator app. :)
Seems I can open and close the drive tray, both with the hardware button and the menu and
toolbar button.
Did you try after ripping a CD? That's when mine first failed.
It seems after reboot, the Eject function in KAudioCreator works only once, then won't
work again.

It won't eject an empty drive, either with the button or
with the menu button. I noticed that kaudiocreator is horribly slow to
respond when busy. Horribly. Like the app can't multitask. During those times I am
unable to open or close the drive tray.
I found no way to halt the ripping process once started.
On the Jobs tab, you'll see three buttons at the bottom: Remove Completed Jobs, Remove
All Jobs, Remove selected jobs. Removing all jobs will cause it to stop ripping. On my
system, it hangs for a minute after I click it before asking to confirm.

Oh, yes, that is intuitively obvious. :)
Yes, very slow to respond.
In my one test run yesterday, the rip succeeded up until the last file which was called
DATA. The ripping process seemed to stall at that point. When I attempted to close the app
I was greeted with a message that ripping was still in progress. Not sure what to make of
all that.
Very slow to respond. Zombie dead slow. :)
The only reason I use it is because I'm too lazy to run cdda2wav then convert to FLAC
or Ogg Vorbis (WAV doens't support tagging) ;-)
There's a reason it can't rip DATA, because it's not AUDIO :-)
Any CD with a data track is one of those Enhanced CDs (it's formatted so it can have a
bunch of Audio tracks, then have a Data track with bonus content, most likely requiring
either Windows or Mac).
