Resolved Question

My Media Player will not copy or burn CDs

May 11, 2012 4:12PM PDT

Can someone please help me. My Media Player will not allow me to copy or burn CDs. I got error message cood1od2 and a message saying The error may have been triggered by an error in another program or component of Windows.
The original error code cood2721 The requested action cannot be performed because a problem occurred with the Windows Media DRM component on your computer.

Windows does not want you to copy a "protected" CD.
In the USA and most other countries it is illegal to do so.

Something I don't use WMP for.

Some folk get upset but I use other software. From CDBURNERXP to IMGBURN (these are free, found with google) I see no reason to spend one second trying to fix WMP.

My media player is nero media player. It does copy or burns cds properly. I think you may use this.
