The option to rip CDs using Windows Media Player is especially handy for users who use it as their main media player thanks to the integration in the library after the ripping. Windows Media Player displays a progress bar and will add the ripped music automatically to the library so that you can play it right away or at any point in the future. The process itself is fast and happens in the background. The selection boxes in front of each title allow you to customize the tracks that you want saved to your system. Windows Media Player should display the title of the CD in the left sidebar as well so that you can click on the item there instead. Hit the rip CD button at the top afterwards to save all tracks of the music CD to your computer in the selected format. The contents of the CD are displayed here if everything goes according to plan. Once done, insert the audio CD into the drive and select it with a click on the small left-arrow icon at the top left corner of the screen. You can increase or decrease the quality which has an impact on the resulting file size. If you have selected mp3 as the format, the default quality is set to 128 Kbps. You can switch that to mp3 or wav instead. The default format is Windows Media Audio (wma). In the Rip Music to This Location box, select Change to specify where your ripped music is stored. Go to the Rip tab and select More Options. Select the format that you want the music to be available in. To set up your Windows Media Player 11 to rip songs on CDs: Insert a CD into the CD drive and open WMP 11.
Change the file name preset from track title to a different preset, e.g.Set the folder that you want the ripped audio CD tracks to be saved to.Switch to the rip music tab here which lists the options related to that activity. Click on Organize > Options to display all settings the program makes available. You can start Windows Media Player from the start menu or start screen by entering media player or by loading wmplayer.exe after using the Windows-R shortcut to open a run box on the system.įirst thing you need to do is configure the ripping functionality. It is suggested you set the output format to mp3 instead to avoid that. Note: Windows Media Player may add DRM to the audio files if you rip the audio files to WMA format. While it is usually better to use a program like CDex for that, as it offers better options and is more comfortable to use, it may not make much sense to run the program if you only rip music occasionally.
