How to download a music cd on windows 10

This tutorial will show you step by step how to rip music from an Audio CD to your Windows 10 PC using Windows Media Player.

Windows Media Player will copy the music from your CD to your computer's hard drive in MP3, WMA, WAV, or FLAC audio format.

Steps

1. Insert the audio CD you want to rip into the CD drive of your PC.

2. Open Windows Media Player.

Three ways to open Windows Media Player in Windows 10:

• Enter WMP in the search bar (or Cortana) and then click on Windows Media Player when it appears.
• Press the [Windows] + [R] keys on your keyboard, enter wmplayer.exe and press [Enter].

3. In the left sidebar, you click on your CD (e.g., AlbumName (F:)).

4. Click on Rip settings, go to Format and choose MP3 or another audio format, like WMA, WAV or FLAC. FLAC and WAV offer better quality.

5. Click again on Rip settings, go to Audio Quality and choose 320 Kbps. Note: If you've selected the WAV or FLAC audio format, then you don't have to select a quality setting.

6. You can uncheck the songs you don't want to rip to your computer.

7. Click on Rip CD located next to Rip settings at the top.

Windows Media Player will now copy the music from your CD to your computer's hard drive.

Windows Media Player will save your CD in the Music folder on your PC.
