This is very strange. I've ripped things in WAV, and it works just fine. It's probably because of how it didn't complete the rip. I've seen this happen with DVD Audio Ex Tractor when you extract a DVD that's a bit damaged and it does kind of extract the chapter I guess. But not really. It sounds like that's kind of what happened here but it's hard to say why since you said that the CD is fine, and it worked when you did it in WMA lausless. But yeah, I prefer PCM WAV my self. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:58 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Windows Media Player 11
Hi. WMP11 has six format settings for ripping CDs. I chose WAV (Lossless). WMP took a long time to go through the ripping process, and in fact never completed it, although all the tracks from the CD showed up in the designated folder. When I attempted to play these tracks, MS responded with a message to the effect that the player can't play either this CD or this format. However, when I put the same CD in just to play, not rip, WMP went right ahead. I changed the format to Windows Media Audio Lossless, and the player smoothly ripped the files to the folder. When it was done, I could play the tracks from that folder. There is nothing wrong with this CD. If I just play it, WMP operates fine. WMP can also rip and play its contents, albeit with my second choice of format. What it can't do is play files in my preferred format, even though it's one of the six ripping format options offered by the same WMP. Any ideas?
