When you go to your Winamp Library, the Ripping section should be
immediately below the Bookmarks section. In my Winamp, on my Windows 7
laptop, I have five main sections in my Winamp Library. The final two are
Bookmarks and the CD Ripping section at the very bottom. Even if it doesn't
specifically speak the titles of the main sections, (which mine actually
doesn't), I don't see why the Ripping section should not be at the bottom of
that list.
How many items do you have in your Winamp Library? What I would suggest is
that if you have five items in your main Library section, go down to the
fifth section and tab over and see what you get.

I appreciate the commentary about the Gracenote database, but Winamp must be
reading the information off the CD. All I know is Winamp shows the tags
when I play the CD.
What I really need is some help getting the CD ripped to my computer!!!

Nope, Winamp's license to use Gracenotes expired shortly before, or after,
it was taken over by Radiotomy, or however that's spelled. They promised
updates to the program but never followed through. That was what? four years
ago, or something like that. But Winamp still works for playing my music
collection, and for playing streams, so I'm still using it for that.
Now I have ripped a few CDs that seem to have their song info encoded on the
CD itself, and Winamp can use that to populate the file tags and label the
songs; but I think for the vast majority of CDs, it can't get that info
anymore because it can't use Gracenotes.

Unless I'm missing something here< that "Grassnote thing" doesn't work
anymore, does it?

I want to rip a CD to put the tracks on my computer. I am not trying to
burn a CD.
I want to use Winamp because the CD is not a commercially sold CD, but the
Gracenote CD database has the song titles and other tag information.
I tried ripping it with Ez CD Audio Converter, but none of the 3 databases
it uses has the song information for this CD.

If Winamp can burn CD's, that's news to me, since I've been using it since
version 1.92. If it can, then it's a Library function, and I've never been
happy with that feature and the way it is accessed and used with a
screenreader. Be that as it may, I wonder if you're thinking of Windows
Media Player, which *can* write a CD.

I installed Winamp on my shiny new Windows 10 machine. I entered my

But I can't find anything in the Library window for ripping a CD.
Where do I look to find the drives on my local computer so I can
select the CD drive.
As a note, I had a CD playing when I was searching around.
I appreciate any help.
