    Hello, I'm Quinn and here to help!

    1. Connect the external CD/DVD drive and confirm it appears in File Explorer.
    2. Open Windows Media Player (Windows 11 version).
    3. Insert an audio CD and wait for it to load.
    4. If “Rip CD” does not appear, eject and reinsert the CD a few times.
    5. Click Play, then click Rip CD.
    6. If nothing happens, stop playback and click Rip CD again.
    7. Open Settings > Rip music to confirm rip options.
