If a CD has copyright protection on it, the ripping process may fail, but so far Windows Media Player has been able to rip just about every CD I’ve thrown at it. That’s about it! Ripping a CD is really easy nowadays and if you have a lot of old music CDs laying around, go ahead and rip them all before you lose them. When you click Rip CD, the process will begin and the amount of time to rip the CD depends on your CD/DVD drive speed and CPU speed, but overall it should be a fairly quick process. Here you can also see the default location for ripping music, which is probably the Music folder in your Users folder. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program.

Open Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations. If you are ripping a lot of CDs and don’t want to change these settings for every CD, click on More options and then change the defaults. If the scan is clear, or you were able to remove all the infected files which caused the problem, then its time to reset the default association so it can open. To avoid this error, you need to set the file association correctly. By default, the audio quality is 128 kbps, but you can rip it all the way up to 192 Kbps if you like. Note: Before you rip a CD, make sure you are connected to the Internet because WMP will look up information on the album and track and add that metadata to the file.Īlso, before ripping, you should check the rip settings to make sure they are what you want in terms of format, quality, etc.įor the format of the output file, you can choose Windows Media Audio, Windows Media Audio Pro, MP3, and WAV. To do that, you just uncheck any track you don’t want ripped before clicking the Rip CD button. Library mode is better in the sense that you can choose exactly which tracks you want to rip instead of ripping the entire CD. If you already had WMP open, then you’ll be in Library mode and you should see a few new menu items at the top: Rip CD an d RIP Settings.
