One popular advantage of Windows Media Player 11 is that it can be used to rip CDs to a computer’s hard drive or to burn CDs or DVDs. If you recently tried to rip audio CDs to a digital music format and saw rip error message C00D10D2, this guide will walk you through the most common solutions to help you get back to ripping your music.

Causes of the CD00D10D2 Error

Most of the time, CD00D10D2 is caused by incorrect settings. Either you changed the settings by mistake or an update returned something to a default that you probably don’t want. The error also may occur when you’re trying to output to an unsupported file format. Choosing a format natural to Windows is a good way to test that.

A Quick Fix for the C00D10D2 Error Message

This is the most common fix, and it requires that you change one setting in Windows Media Player. The player has separate controls for ripping and playing, and it’s possible for ripping support to be disabled. Go back into the settings and re-enable it.

One More Fix

If the problem isn’t fixed, you may be trying to rip to a format that either isn’t supported or is improperly supported. The best way to make sure that isn’t the case is to use the Windows Media Audio (WMA) format to test it out. Since it’s a format built into Windows, you shouldn’t encounter any issues. If you’re a fan of high-resolution audio, you can try WAV too.
