another wmp9 question

This message pops up when I open an audio cd in wmp... "Windows Media Player encountered an error when reading the CD-ROM drive in digital mode. Click OK to switch to analog mode." I then click ok and this pops up... "Windows Media Player encountered an error when reading the CD-ROM drive in digital mode. You can try to use digital mode again, or you can switch the Player to analog mode." What the heck??? I'm just tryingto copy my music from a cd to wmp9, that's all. And when I do what they tell me to do (which is open up device manager and switch it to analog mode) it won't allow me to click on the drive that I want, can't even right click on it. Any help, please.

 

Go into control panel -> system -> hardware tab -> device manager -> DVD/CD-ROM drives -> right click on cd drive you are using -> properties tab -> uncheck enable digital cd audio from this cdrom device

see if that works.

 

dang, I thought that was gonna work, but it didn't, still can't get wmp9 to recognize the cd

 

Try this:

Open wmp9, click on tools, then options, then devices. It should show a list of your devices and one of those should be your CD-Drive. High-light your CD-Drive and click on the properties button. A screen should pop-up giving you the option to Playback and Copy your CD's in digital or analog. Make the change to analog and it should let you copy your CD's.

If that doesn't work... then I don't know.

 

you my friend are THE MAN, thanks a lot, it worked mr_flea I could have sworn your post would have corrected the problems, thanks anyways

 

um...nevermind...it will now let me copy the music to my comp, BUT there is no sound on any of the songs??? My other songs work fine, but these have no volume/sound or anything? Sorry guys

 

Hmmmm... that's odd.

A few questions for you:

Did you undo what mr_flea told you to do?
Did you change only the "Copy your CD's in Digital" to Analog and leave the "Playback" in Digital?
What are you using to copy the songs?

 

no, yes, and windows media player 9... you are 2 for 2 ColonelAngus , I forgot to undo mr_flea's suggestion and now everything is working smoothly (for now ) thanks again

 

I'm always happy to help and I'm glad to hear that everything is working for you.
