Windows Media Player unable to rip CD tracks

After weeks of searching, I finally found THE solution!

The Player stores the extracted songs in your computer's Media Library. Check if the destination path for the copies exists in the player: Organize / Options / Rip Music.

If there’s nothing like a location, try “Modify...”.
If nothing happens, it means you have deleted your Media Library. In this case, you can no longer rip music from a CD, as ripping music in Windows Media Player is linked to the Library.

Here’s how to find the path to the rip folder:
In Windows Media Player
- select ORGANIZE (top left) / MANAGE LIBRARIES / MUSIC
Then ADD / choose your rip folder.
From now on, the MODIFY option is valid again!
