But some users have reported that they’re unable to rip music from CDs and DVDs with Windows Media Player in Windows 10, and we’re here to solve that problem.
What to do if Windows Media Player Won’t Rip Music in Windows 10
Solution 1 – Manage Music Libraries
The most common cause of this problem is actually a conflict between between locations where your ripped music will be placed. If you have more than one ‘Music Libraries,’ there’s a possibility that this error will occur. Solution for this problem is quite simple, you just need to delete other Music Libraries, and you’ll be able to copy your music from CD to your computer, without any problems. Here’s exactly what you need to do:
Solution 2 – Install Necessary Codecs
If your Windows 10 system lacks certain audio codecs, you probably won’t be able to rip music to your computer (you probably won’t be able to even play it). So, it won’t do any harm to check if you have proper audio codecs installed on your computer. If you don’t have any codecs, you should install them immediately. We recommend the latest K-Lite Codec Pack for Windows 10, but if you want something else, just search the internet for the codec pack that suits you up the best. Once you installed the proper codec pack, try to run Windows Media Player and rip the music again, and I’m sure things are going to be better this time. That’s it, most people reported that these two solutions (especially the first one) solved their problem with ripping music in Windows 10, and we hope they will help you as well.

Solution 4 – Restore to Default the music library folder
If the solutions above don’t work, it is possible that Windows Media Player is dealing with corrupted files. Some users have managed to solve the problem after they restored to default the music library.
