From the log I can confirm your theory that it was a general issue with temporal inaccessibility of drives/windows explorer.

The playing entries updater has been waiting for "UpdateDriveLetter" thread which was frozen for 7 minutes:

00000163 11:02:01.148 AM [19164] MM5 [21496](R) >UpdateDriveLetters - exists: C:\ [], type: 3, SN: 12EB8B8F
00000164 11:02:01.148 AM [19164] MM5 [21496](R) >UpdateDriveLetters - drive appeared or disappeared: C:\ [], type: 3, SN: 12EB8B8F, exists: true
..... 7 minutes of nothing here.....
00011794 11:09:53.710 AM [19164] MM5 [21496](R) CDPlayer.ini location: E:\Software\MediaMonkey 5\Portable\CDPlayer.ini
00011795 11:09:53.712 AM [19164] MM5 [21496](R) >UpdateDriveLetters - exists: D:\ [TIME_AFTER_TIME], type: 5, SN: 21188D39

So it was a temporal freeze while accessing either CD drive D:\ [TIME_AFTER_TIME] or the file
E:\Software\MediaMonkey 5\Portable\CDPlayer.ini
(including CD metadata/info)

Can you confirm this is no longer an issue?
