It works

If I open my WMP, it has no Rip CD menu item even after I insert a CD....... But, with my WMP closed, if I insert a CD and it starts as Auto-Play then the Rip CD (and Rip Settings) Menu item(s) appear.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Make sure you select the CD from the left pane, if you insert the CD after WMP is open,
