Windows 10: Unable to rip music to mp3 but WMA works fine!

Hello,

Windows 10 media player is refusing to rip a CD to MP3. I've tried all the stock suggestions on multiple similar posts:

• Error correction is turned on for the CD/DVD drive in Media Player.
• There's a valid folder for it to rip to have tried 2 separate drives, includng C:.
• Have tried increasing quality to maximum for MP3.

None of this has any effect; I still get the error message:

Windows Media Player cannot rip one or more tracks from the CD.

If I turn the file format to WMA, then I can rip fine but I don't want it in WMA format.

Suggestions? I've seen posts on non-microsoft forums that suggest an MP3 codec might be the issue but that seems... odd when it plays mp3s just fine. Not sure where I would get a legitimate one either?

Thanks in advance!

:)

 

JetAudio doesn't rip wma


Apparently none of us Volunteers viewing have an answer about/experience with the particular program you are using. I use Windows Media Player on Win10 to Rip music to the HDD, most times save as .mp3 but .wma is another choice.

Granted, not getting an immediate answer is annoying but again, it's whether a Volunteer sees a post and has a solution.

 

JetAudio doesn't rip wma


I use JetAudio for my ripping, and for some reason sInce using Windows 10, it wont rip to wma or even convert. Media allows you to rip. But for me, once I use Audacity to remaster ie adding, bass, treble and gain, I would convert to wma variable. Is there a solution as to why JetAudio isnt working with wma?. Just a note, you can play wma just not rip or convert

 

Error code 0xc00d7187 while playing wma file with Groove Music

For further assistance, we need to clarify somethings.

• Do you have a subscription on Groove Music?
• Have you tried adding music to OneDrive for it to play on the computer?

Make sure that your music files are one of the supported file types to be unprotected:

• MP3
• M4A
• WMA

WMA files downloaded through a Groove Music Pass are typically protected due to it's copyrights. Since you mentioned that the WMA files are protected music ripped from the CD, that could be the main reason why you're encountering this issue.
