Now I have 2 more questions.
#1..When you insert a CD into the drive to play it sometimes a dialogue box
pops up and asks what you want to do with the CD; Open, Play, Rip, etc.
How do you make that box pop up everytime a CD is inserted? Mine wil not pop
up today on this computer.


Right click on the CD drive under My Computer (windows explorer)
Choose "Properties" then Autoplay, and set each of those options using
the dropdown, for audio CD and perhaps DVD.


#2.. On my computer at work the dialoge box pops up, but there was no "RIP"
choice on it yesterday. Why? And when I inserted the CD and opened Windows
Media Player and played the CD I clicked the "RIP" button hoping to rip it
and it asked me to insert a CD........even though the CD was playing. I
couldn't make it rip what i wa playing. Why?

Thanks

I am having trouble trying to copy WMA files onto a CD. The files I am
trying to copy are 16 tracts. I have them in my "My music" folder even
though the tracts are a sermon. When I copy them and install them onto
another PC of mine they somehow get converted to .cda files. How do I keep
them as .wma files or convert them back to .wma files?

You have chosen to burn an Audio CD. In the dropdown menu under the
Burn tab in media player 11, go to the settings and select Data CD
instead of Audio CD. That will preserve the tracks as WMA instead of
audio CD tracks (though many older standalone CD players won't then be
able to play them)
