I hate the wmp library and I only use wmp to rip music. I then use windows
explorer to see where my files have gone.

The problem is that I very seldom boot my Windows PC anymore, but going
from memory, I think you should be able to click on the library view and
then view by artist or album to look for those stray tracks. Note that
you can also use other media players like Winamp or FooBar to look
through your library, if those interfaces are easier to use. Even
Windows Explorer should do the trick.
I need to do some ripping on my Windows PC anyway, so I'll take a look
and see if I can offer up any better tips than that.

Well here's the thing: I know very little about how to navigate this WMP

eventually got there) but I couldn't go back and repeat or retrace my
steps! I kind of like ripping with WMP for it's ability to title the
tracks right out of the box (CDEX doesn't do this) as I understand it,
you have to set it up to do it! So maybe if someone would be so kind as
to tell me how to search for these tracks (would they be in the WMP
library) it would be most appreciated!

Hi. I agree with Chris. A good place to check is the unknown folder if
there is one.
that or the various, or the unknown artist.
When i rip a cd through wmp I actually search to see if there are
multiple entries for the cd sometimes I'll find more than 2 or 3
versions. I can usually tell which is the correct version because
track lists are different or the number of tracks are different.
One more thing, IMO, winamp is a much better autotagger than wmp.

Have you looked around for those tracks? Is it possible they ended up
getting loaded in the library under another artist or album? I've had
this happen to me with different CD rippers, and I usually just edit
the
MP3 tags myself to straighten it out.

Hello list: I have tried twice to rip a CD, using Windows Media

My question is, "Why?" As far as I can tell, I got no "error"
message! There is no reason that I can see as to why it's not
ripping _all_ of the tracks on this CD (it's a commercial CD; one I
got from Timelife Music. So what is the deal? I don't want to have
to go through the agony of ripping it again, for as I'm sure that
some of you know, once you've ripped something using Windows Media
player (I forgot to mention; am using WMP 11 and running Jaws 13)
anyhow, when you rip a CD using this player, it _will not_ let you
rip it again until you first remove it from the library! BTW-can
someone tell me the most direct root to get to the Windows Media
library; then to get to what I might want to remove and delete it?
Many thanks!
