PC utilities: unable to rip cd's in wmp 12 after win 7 install

WMP 12 Automatic rip settings

Well I did at least find the setting that tells WMP 12 to automatically rip when a CD is inserted. It's under Tools - Options - Rip Music. (Press Ctrl-M while in WMP 12 to bring up the menu bar if it's not already there) I put a check in the box next to "Rip CD automatically" and at least now when I put in a CD in it rips. (I opted for Windows Media Audio Lossless for the format in the drop down dialogue above this.)

However I still don't see a tab in WMP for ripping but I do see an indication in the Organize Bar that it is ripping. Maybe when the ripping is finished I will see an option to rip in WMP 12's Organize Bar instead of as a tab like in the older WMP 11.

I also notice that there still isn't an AutoPlay setting option to have WMP12 automatically rip Audio CDs. Maybe this will correct itself with a restart. (I can't restart until much later this evening because I'm in the middle of a full system backup to Windows Home Server and don't want to interrupt it.)

I'll post later if any of the options change after a restart.
