Hi Scott, John R. here, I'm sure I can help Now for the Unknown thing, this is done because Windows Media player can't get out on to the internet, this could be a firewall, or a setting, if you are using Norton Anti Virus 2005, this will ask you straight away if you want to let it, I know this because this is what I use. if that isn't the case then you may not have the correct options set up for the program do the following: Open Windows Media Player Go to the Tools Menu Now arrow down to Options and hit enter Now get on to the page named, Player Tab, or something like that, this can be done a number of ways but using, CTRL Tab together will move you through the pages Now once the Page tab is in view, tab across the page and look for an option that says something like, Connecting to the internet over rides every program, this is done because there could be a program going out on to the internet at the same time and Windows Media player could be waiting for that to finish, or the option might be on Don't connect.
Now about the folder change, do the following: Have Windows Media Player open Go to the Tools Menu Go to Options the same as before Now once Options is open go to the Rip Tab, this can be done the same as before, CTRL and Tab, until you come to Rip Tab Page The first button you land on is called Change you press enter or spacebar on this and this will open another window and tab around and I'va change the folder or create a folder for it and it when it is crated or change will conferm if you want to make that change. I hope this helps if not please get back to me on I'va private E-mail, through this group, or on MSN: All these details are below.
