I have a CD I want to rip to .wav. I can rip into a machine that I have had for years. I just installed Ultimate to another machine with a brand new Lite On dvd/rw drive. I have set up WMP on the Ultimate to auto rip the disc when entered. It won't do that. I set up the region on the brand new drive, still won't rip. I can RDP to the machine I want to rip it on (no monitor) and the drive shows up, says audio CD, but in WMP, it won't show up under Now Playing or the Rip tab. WTF.

I just ripped to this computer automatically with NO issues. Any ideas at all?
 
In case this helps, the controller it is on, sees it as a SCSI device, not ATA. It is a Lite On SATA drive. Maybe this helps?
 
Try using a program called Exact Audio Copy. It's what I use to make WAV and MP3 music files.

As to why WMP won't rip the CD like it's configured to, I can't answer that. It may be -- but I'm not certain that it is -- part of how Vista handles DRM (which, IIRC, was one of the major complaints of many people when Vista first arrived).
 
I ripped the CD with that drive with EAC. The functionality I guess is there, its just that WMP won't recognize it. I need to use WMP because I have to rip over 200 CD's and it is the easiest way to rip them with all the metadata.

Any ideas why MP sucks right now?

Also EAC put ebay f*******g icons everywhere.
 
No; there shouldn't be any (logical) reason why WMP would refuse to recognize, let alone play a music file.
