Windows Media Player 11, unable to Rip Music.

Hello cinderella50,

·         Have you tried to rip the music to a different disc?

I suggest that you use a different disc and check if you are able to rip the disc.

I suggest that you turn on error correction and check if you have the same issue. Follow the below steps to turn on error correction:

1. Open Windows media player. Press Alt key.
2. Click on Tools and then click on options.
3. Click the Device Tab, click the CD drive and click properties.
4. On the Audio tab, in the Playback area, select the Use Error Correction check box.

Note: Turning on error correction might cause the CD audio to skip in places.

You can refer the below link for more information on this:

If this does not work, I suggest that you check if the Media Player settings to rip the DVD are correct. Follow the below steps to check on the settings:
