when i try to rip a cd this comes up-Windows Media Player cannot rip the track because a compatible MP3 encoder is not installed on your computer. Install a compatible MP3 encoder or choose a different format to rip to (such as Windows Media Audio).
i want to rip the cd and put it on my mp3 player
what do i do?

May I recommend a free program called CDex? It works great for me.
What's CDex?
CDex can CD/Ripper music encoder. CDex can extract the data directly (digital) from an Audio CD, which is generally called a CD Ripper or a CDDA utility. The resulting audio file can be a plain WAV file (useful for making compilation audio CDs) or the ripped audio data can be compressed using an audio encoder. Many encoders are supported, to name a few:
Lame MP3 encoder
Internal MP2 encoder
APE lossles audio format
Ogg Vorbis encoder
The Windows MP3 encoder (Fraunhofer MP3 encoder)
NTT VQF encoder
FAAC encoder
Windows WMA8 encoder

If the CD is copy protected, your alternative is to record the CD in real time with a program like Audacity, edit it into individual tracks, and save as MP3.
If this is happening with all of your CDs, you may need to download updates for your Media Player. Check Microsoft's website for that.

yep you would have to use like nero burner unless you can find the right encoder somewhere online to update you windows. also check out winamp.
the only encoder i can remeber right now is called lazymans kvl or something. i think thats for video though sorry.
