Media Center grabbing files that don't belong to it
« on: February 16, 2005, 09:03:28 pm »

Hello Everyone! 

I use several different programs to burn and rip CDs.  When I rip a certain CD using a program called EZ-CDDA Extractor, the files doesn't go into My Music like it should, but just one song of the entire CD goes into a Media Center file.  Where the rest of the CD goes is anyone's guess.

I would like the whole CD file to go to My Music, but for some reason Media Center steps in a grabs just one song.

Is there some way I can stop this from happening?

Thank as always...

Thanks King.  I've done that since I ripped the CD with their software, but I think the problem is with my Media Center settings since the file went there.  The CD is one of five in a set and they all have the same name.  So after ripping I went to My Music files and renamed them Disc I, Disc 2, etc.  Then - and I think this is where it happened - I just minimized My Music file so I could pull it up easier after ripping each disc.  Somehow that must have cut out My Music files as an option and Media Center took over.  I corrected the broken shortcut, but it is still doing the same thing I described.  I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks.

Hi David!

Try unchecking "Automatically Import Files into media library"(Options - General). MC shouldn't actually be moving  any file unless you tell it to.

In MC - OPtions , uncheck "Associate with audio CDs".

I don't think the above will really help though. Are both programs using "My Music" as a destination for ripped files? If so, try changing one of them.
