I am having a problem ripping cd's?

Question

I am trying to burn a cd for my sister in law, and when I went to rip it this message came up-
"Windows Media Player cannot rip tracks from the CD correctly because the CD drive settings in Device Manager do not match the CD drive settings in the Player."
Ok, so where is the Device Manager and how do I change it?

Answer 1

You can activate the device manager with the following steps
- Right click on the “My Computer” icon
- Select “Properties” command
- From the tabs select “Hardware”
- Then click “Device manager” under “Device manager” category
- Once you get the device manager, expand “DVD/CD ROM“ list and you’ll see your CD ROM under that
- By right clicking on it you can access the properties of the ROM
- From the tabs, select “Properties” tab
- Now select the proper drive settings as applied in the Media Player
- Save changes by pressing “OK” buttons

Incase you want to rip CDs with better quality, use “JetAudio” software. You can get it from the link http://www.download.com/JetAudio-Basic/3000-2167-10013740.html?part=dl If you are ripping from the Media Player (as MP3) you need to have the MP3 creation pack installed to Media Player.

Answer 2

I think youll have to play with the sampling rate .. bump it up a bit for good rips but works flawlessly
