Using Windows Media player,I like to copy music from a CD into my Computer,but when I choose "Copy from Music CD" and clicked "Copy Music",I got this error message:Windows Media Player has encountered an unknown error.I do not know what it means and would appreciate it,if somebody could help me with this problem.Thanks for your help and suggestions. Matthew.

What version do you have? Is the CD copyrighted? Does it do it on all cd's or just a few?

You have asked the same question before: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/99652.html Name: grasshopper Date: March 23, 2004 at 18:09:02 Pacific Subject: Copying music from CD to Computer.

Reply: Try Upgrading to Windows Media Player 9 if you do not already have it. If you do have WMP 9, go by what the previous person suggested.

Download Winamp (free). Use it and you shouldn't have a problem. MediaPlayer is very quirky.

No, no, no... Use the free, fully-functional, open source program CDex. I use it and it's an amazing piece of software. Don't screw around with WMA files, this will allow you to create high bitrate MP3s using the Lame engine. Also, don't worry about copyrights if you own the CD. If you don't own it, well then it's up to you ;)

Thanks all you guys for all your help and support.Alex,my sincere apologies for submitting the same question,but I must have forgotten it unintentially,because I don't remember.Anyway,thanks again. Matthew.
