Windows 10: Ripping a CD in Win 11 with Windows Media Player

I am finding Windows Media Player WMP very glitchy. I have tried to rip some CD's and while WMP notes the files are being ripped, when I check the directory where the files were ripped to it is empty. Nothing there. The WMP program notes the files were Ripped to Library but they are not there.And because the program thinks they were ripped I can't do it again. I have tried several things with no luck at all. Changed the name of the file, changed the location to rip to, etc. and nothing works.Why can't you change the ripped status of the file to rip again? Seems so simple but I don't se
