Windows 10: Media Player Rip Settings Can't change destination folder

I've found several non-working solutions for this issue.One is to go to a different mapped folder on a network -- I'm not ON a network here and don't have any mapped drives. I'm at home :Fortunately the Rip generates a folder / subfolder in an already populated directory. So I still do the Rip, forced to this directory, copy the folders to the the desired directory, etc.This just started happening with the most recent update. Aug 21Why not remove the fail-safe that maintains the last know working directory? Or allow end users to configure fail-safe, default, directory settings or whateve

Windows Media Player.

I would suggest you to check the ‘Windows Media Player’ settings from the steps below.

1. Open the ‘Windows Media Player’, in the player ‘Library’, click on ‘Organize’.
   
2. Select ‘Options’, this will open the ‘Options’ window for the ‘Windows Media Player’.
   
3. Click on the ‘Library’ tab, please confirm if the ‘Retrieve additional information from the Internet’ is checked, check the options ‘Rename music files using rip music settings’ and ‘Rearrange music in rip
   music folder, using rip music settings’ under ‘Automatic media information updates for files’. Click on ‘Apply’.
   
4. Click on the ‘Player’ tab and check the option ‘Connect to the Internet’. Click on apply.
   
5. Restart the ‘Windows Media Player’ and check if it works out for you.
