How to rip (copy) music from an Audio CD to a computer in Windows 10 (easy way)

This tutorial video will show you step by step how to easily and quickly rip (copy) music from an audio CD to your desktop computer or laptop in MP3 audio format using Windows Media Player in Windows 10. /rip-a-cd-in-windows/

When it's finished you can easily copy the music songs to your USB flash drive, portable MP3 player or your smartphone.

You don't need to install any extra third-party software for ripping CDs, because Windows Media Player has a great CD ripper feature built-in.

With Windows Media Player you can easily select an audio format, like MP3, select an audio quality, like 256 Kbps or 320 Kbps, and uncheck the songs you don't want to rip and that's all you need from a CD ripper, right?

As a senior in my 70s, I do try to keep up with technology as best I can. Thank you so much for the excellent quality video which has allowed me to add my favourite tunes to my MP3 player.

Thanks... Had to take an old CD and put it on the computer. I hadn't done it in a long time and forgot how to do it... This saved me.

Thanks again. I RIP CDs so rarely that I come back every time for a refresher. Still the best video out there!

Thank you so much! My brother was part of the German Indy group Nocturn in the mid 90's. I had two of their CD's and he wanted me to copy and send the tracks to him (I live in NYC and he in Portugal and Amsterdam). He got all excited that I still have his music, because he has nothing left.

I am ripping while typing this and I am so glad it works!!!

Thanking you 4.5 years later after you posted this video! Still useful when dealing with "old technology"!

The CD's are laying around for months now, not being able to straight copy! He'll freak out when I send him the tracks!

Can't believe I had to look here in 2023. Great, simple video saved me. Thanks.

This worked perfectly! Thanks for showing this slowly enough to follow and with all the in-between steps that sometimes others leave out.

[Dubnot]

I haven't had to do this in forever and I thank you for the reminder. Taking your time to share is appreciated.

Thank you for taking care of our seniors citizens. God bless you!

Thanks to you and all the YouTube expects who take the time to put these things together and make life easier for those of us more technically challenged

It had been so long since I had done this that I totally blanked. This was simple and very helpful. Thank you!

edit: forgot to add, that I still have Windows 7 (am soon being dragged kicking and screaming into Windows 10 though - ugh!) but wanted to add that these instructions also work perfectly for Windows 7 as well. The only difference is just either to look for the Windows Media Player icon at the bottom bar, or click on start and type it into the dialog box to access it.
