I can't extract/rip/save songs from audio CDs to PC

I'd still go with it being the ASPI. I think it comes with Windows 2000/XP but not 98.

It's the software layer between Windows Media Player and your CD-ROM. Gets them "talking" to one another.

Could be a lack of ASPI drivers.

Download and install this:

then see if it works.

Nope - tried it and it didn't work.

I had a look through this website but can't seem to see the files on my original OS CD and the registry key is missing but I don't know how to add it.


I think I will just give up in case I make things worse. If I need songs from CDs I will rip them on my PC at work and transfer them to the home PC via a USB Pen.

Thanks all for your help

Try using something other than WMP.

Cdex is a very good and easy to use (free) application.

Unfortunately this isn't working either - it can't even see the CDs
