• HOW can I TRANSFER MY MUSIC ON USB FLASHDRIVE to LIBRARY WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER for CD burn

  I just bought a beautiful Yamaha keyboard with a USB plug feature that allows me to record my music on a flash drive and bring it to the computer to burn the cd.
  I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 yesterday - & when I plug the FD in the computer, music - and I have touched the options "add to library" - but when I take the FD of the computer, the song goes with it. The single "rip instructions" is for a CD, not a flash drive.
  I'm a musician but a dummy into technical details - I don't know yet how to 'save' something - my granddaughter told me I might need save in another location & then "pull it in WMP to burn?

  so if someone out there could tell me if I can do it in WMP & give me some details step by step on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do, I'll be very grateful...  My family & friends would like to have a CD of my music & I'd like to be able to do it before I get too old to get there...  Laughing out loud
  Judy

  Thanks, Judy

• Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

  Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

  Thank you
