Hello Deb and list: Actually I was going to send a message, telling of how I finally had success with ripping a CD with Windows Media (it seems that when you tab and land on the "seek" slider, then you have to use the arrow keys to find the "rip" button! Does this sound correct? Anyhow it has my track titles; now I'm going to put the CD in that I _really_ want to rip and see if it'll work with that collection! If so, maybe I'll just go on back to using Windows Media and forget about CDEX for now! Thanks again to all of you for bearing with me through all of this! It just shouldn't be so difficult! Tom Kaufman

In Windows Media Player, go to tools, options, control tab to Rip Music Page. Tab to rip CD when inserted and check that box. You should be good to go. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Byron Stephens" <bstephens122...@shaw.ca> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 3:08 PM Subject: Re: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks? > Do a s3earch for free mp3 ripper.
