Hi again.
Ok, I just tried doing the same thing on my M1330. It behaves
differently to yours in that a small section of music repeats again
and again until the disk is ejected, and then carries on (I was using
RealPlayer with a local file as a simple test).
And it does look like other things stop working while the disk is
ejected - screen updates freeze and network too I think.
I'm going to be travelling for the next few days, so I won't be able
to try anything else till later in the week.
Regards,
Mike.
