Windows Media Player will not rip cd or create playlist

[kmesbh79]

I am unable to rip a CD or create a playlist with windows media player.  I clicked organize, options, rip music tab and it says rip music to this location there is nothing there. I tried clicking change but nothing happened. I think not having a location there is preventing me from ripping and creating playlist. How do I fix this?  I tried clearing the media player database but it wasn’t helpful.

Many find Windows Media Player to be a bad experience.
Have you considered do an removal WMP and using almost any other popular Media player?

The above link is informational purpose only. I  posted it to let all know this is a very common issue. But he players they list may not be the best choice. Better choices would be:
VLC for playing movies and DVDs

Win mp for playing any music file.

This is not just IMO, rather a general census of many users.

Another alternative is to use and older version of WMP.
