Solve : Windows Media Player 10 Not Recognizing Audio CDs?

Answer»
Hi,

I have a Dell 8400 Desktop computer (P4, 630 (3.0GHZ), HT, 2 MB, Em64T running Windows XP.

This problem just started 2 weeks ago.

When I put an audio cd in Drive D (the top drive), Windows Media Player (10.0.0.36460) comes on but it doesn't recognize the audio cd. Instead, I get the following error MESSAGE: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another computer, verify that you are connected to the network." However, if I just click on the small top arrow next to "Now Playing" in WMP, it recognizes the D Drive and I can play all the tracks on the audio cd.

I have no problem playing DVDs in the D Drive.

I'd appreciate any help you can GIVE me in solving this annoying problem.

The latest version for WMP is 11.  Somehow I doubt upgrading will solve your problem, but it's the first thing I would try. Quote

Do you have two optical drives?
Do CDs work in the other drive?Hi GUYS,

Thanks for the suggestions. I put a cd in the bottom Drive E and the cd played perfectly and just for the fun of it, I tried it with Drive D. This time it worked. So I have no idea how it worked. It just did.

Thanks again for answering my questions and for helping me to solve the problem. Again, I have no idea why it worked. It just did.
