Dear Listers, In Windows 7 Home premium, which I think per default comes with windows media player version 12, the ripping options are really not that much different from the previous version, if you set your view options to the menu, not sure whether it's called classic menu, view.
As your settings are retained, once made, you can a next time, just insert the cd and if you've set it to automatically rip the cd when inserted, you won't even have to make any other changes, when ripping a second cd. However, if you do not specifically place a high premium on and prefer to rip to wma lossless or CDA format and do not need your track and album titles to be retrieved from the internet, you can use the switch program to convert the songs to another format, even the same format like mp3, just with a lower bitrate encoding, which will in effect also rip the cd. I cannot recall which version of switch you have to install to work on windows 7, but if you try to install an earlier incompattible version, it will tell you to download a relevant version from the webpage and even open the page for you. But, as far as I could figure out, you cannot burn with switch.

If you would like to go through the file, I have included a link to it later in this message. The recording is certainly not professional quality but I have removed any reference to my client from the file. I did not get into working with the metadata in Windows Media Player. The setting of ripping options was included, but once that has been done the options are remembered by Windows Media Player for any subsequent ripping. There very well might be other and better ways to do the ripping with Windows Media Player 12, and certainly with other programs, but I found the way discussed in the recording to be an easy way to get the ripping done.
