Laptop won't rip cd's

When you rip using WMP the music files are saved in a default location.

• Open tools
• Open Rip
• Read "Rip Music to This Location"
• If no artist on CD the folder will be "Unknown Artist"
• In that folder contains by date-...the folders containing your music

You can check before you close WMP that they are saved

Re the Ripping problem, for Win7:

To rip music from an audio CD

1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.
2. If Media Center is not in full-screen mode, click the Maximize button in the upper-right corner of the window.
3. Insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. The CD will start playing automatically.
4. On the Now Playing screen, click Rip CD. (If you navigated away from the Now Playing screen, you can always return there from the Windows Media Center start screen by scrolling to Music, clicking Music library, clicking Albums, and then clicking the CD you inserted.)
5. If this is the first time you've ripped a CD, follow the instructions on the CD Ripping Options screen. (You won't see this screen the next time you rip a CD.)
6. In the Rip CD dialog box, click Yes to rip the tracks to your computer. The ripped music files are automatically added to your Music library.

Re the webcam problem, would need more info. Do you know if the laptop has webcam software installed at all?

"Quality" of the CD's has a lot to do with it. The lower the quality, the more likely better CD burners won't acknowledge them.

Open your media player and Rip the cd from there it is all done for you.

Try:
1 - update driver, if fail
2 - uninstall driver,restart,if fail
3 - update firmware, if fail
Open WMP-Go into Tools - Options - Rip Music and see if you have a location the music is being ripped to. I didn't when I looked, it was blank,then go to Organise - Manage Libraries - Music, there should be a music folder location here, if there isn't press "add" and add the music folder.Now do the same for the other 3 libraries, Videos, Pictures and Recorded tv, all should have locations, delete the ones without a location.try to rip again.

that usually means that the xbox doesn't recognize the disk

Hi,
That's easy. When you insert an audio cd launch your Media Player and click on RIP and a downline menu will pop up you can select Rip CD automatically when inserted or more options to customize your cd ripping mode. After ripping the cd you can now add the songs to your library.

Hi,

Pop your music CD into the drive and open it with Windows Media Player. In Media Player there is an option to "Rip" or "Copy" the CD.

Choose one of those options and copy the CD to the hard drive. After its been ripped you can then select the burn option and copy it to a blank CD.

It's as easy as that, however you cannot do this with DVD's just music CD's.

Please post back if you require anymore advice.



Regards.

play the cd on a cd player....

does it skip toward the end of every song?

If so, the cd is being ripped to your computer that way; that would explain why. If that is not the case, maybe try a different ripping speed. If the ripping program you're using has that option

i think there is problem with the cd writer try cleaning the lens if this does not help then it has to be taken for repairing
