Windows Media Player 11 SDK Ripping a CD 

Ripping a CD

There are two ways to rip a CD by using the Windows Media Player control. Windows Media Player 9 can rip CDs by using IWMPPlayerServices::setTaskPane. Windows Media Player 11 introduces the IWMPCdromRip interface for ripping CDs. This interface provides more functionality than IWMPPlayerServices::setTaskPane, and it is recommended that you use IWMPCdromRip if it is available.

The following sections describe how to rip a CD by using Windows Media Player.
