Windows 10: Can't rip CD using legacy WMP.

I'm running Media Player legacy version 12 on Windows 11. With any CD loaded into the device when I hit the Rip CD button a box immediately pops up with the text:Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct.This used to work on Windows 10.Solution??

Rip cds on WMP

After you finish ripping a CD, move the tracks to a different folder.

The real way to do this is to let WMP download CD information from the internet. That way all four CDs will be uniquely identified.

 

RIP CDs

Hi,

We suggest that you perform these steps and check if the issue persists:

• Press "Windows" + "E" button on the keyboard.
• Go to "View > Navigation pane" and select "Show libraries".
• Now in the navigation pane, right-click on the "Music" library under "Libraries" and select "Delete".
• Now right-click on the "Libraries" and select "Restore default libraries".
• Now try to rip.

We also suggest that you refer to this link. Burn and rip CDs.

Regards.

 

Rip cds on WMP

I have a 4-cd package and after ripping the first cd, it gets copied over by other attempts. Any suggestions?
