hi, here's my thoughts on the subject. windows media player isn't nearly the best choice for cd ripping. you can go out and download a free program such as CDEX which is much easier to use, is focused on ripping and allows you to convert into mp3 much easier than windows media, as well as having more ripping modes if those cd's are scratched. to get it, or even just check it out, go to http://www.whitestick.co.uk/download.html if you don't like it, you can remove it, but i personally use it for ripping as well as converting between different formats.
as for playing music, I know a lot of blind people use winamp. it's totally scripted, and doesn't have a bunch of garbage that you don't need. it's all keyboard controled and easy. it rips cd's as well, and is also a good method despite being a bit slower. on my pc, it still ripped a cd in 10 minutes with little processor eating up, so i could do other stuff while ripping. winamp allows you to burn cd's as well, and in my opinion is easier to use than media player, besides having more internet broadcasting stations available that media player doesn't have. the only disadvantage to winamp, and this can be gotten around, is it doesn't play dvd movies. there are plugins that allow you to do this, though. winamp can be gotten from http://www.winamp.com that's about it from me.
