If one goes into the options menu in Windows Media player and checks the "Rip Automatically" checkbox on the "ripping tab", the CD will be ripped automatically when one puts it in. One can tell Windows Media Player to eject automatically when it is finished. You can listen to the CD while it is ripping or you don't have to. This works nicely when you are ripping a lot of CD's.
If you don't want to rip CD's automatically, make sure the "Rip Automatically" box is not checked. Then when you put in a CD, Windows Media Player should be on the "Now Playing" screen. If it is not on that screen, Pressing Control 3 should bring you there. If you tab around that window, you should find a "Rip" button which you can activate by pressing SPACE. I do not doubt that there might be easier ways to rip a CD, but this really works pretty well and one doesn't have to download anything new or worry whether you are getting anything you don't know you are getting. I really wish that if people say "my way works better" that they would take a minute to tell us why. We all think our way works better or we would do it another way. <smile> Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Thu, 21 May 2015 15:48:46 -0500, Sunshine via Talk wrote: >I use ez audio converter to rip my cds and it works better then windows >media player. >On 5/21/2015 1:47 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland via Talk wrote: >> I totally agree.
