Rip Music - Location disappeared and can't change

[Loeb]

I have windows media player installed in my system and i had a location for ripped music. I don't know why is it missing suddenly, i have tried changing things but than i get a message from media player saying that i am not allowed to change and all. I want to know if there is another way by which i can add a location for the ripped music again. Help regarding this will be appreciated.

Just try following the below steps and let me know if it helps you out.

• Go to Start, click on run, type "regedit" without quotes and hit Enter
• Now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences and check out for CDRecordPath value
• In case it doesn't exist than create a new string value and set it to the correct ripped music location after that.

Hope that helps.

Below is what i had done to fix this issue in my case:

• Open Media Player > Manage Libraries > Music and check out if there are any locations saying "unavailable".
• If you find any than delete and then re-enter correct location.
• In my case i had 3 "unavailable" locations, once i deleted them and entered the correct location things were fine again.

Just try it out and let me know if this trick help you as well, best of luck.
