I don't even see an option to rip Audio CD's using WMP 12 on Win 7 (Ultimate, in-place upgrade from Vista Ultimate)
I also don't see an option under AutoPlay settings to use WMP 12 to rip when a CD is inserted. It's not even grayed out, it's just not there as an option under Audio CD's AutoPlay settings. However I do see an option to use Zune for Ripping.
I wonder if uninstalling Zune might fix this problem? (I sync my Zune anyway using a different machine running Vista.)
This is only my 4th day or so after doing the in-place upgrade to Win 7.
Is there anyone else out there having the same problem? please help.
