Title: Media Center grabbing files that don't belong to it
Post by: azdood 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...

Maybe you should go to there site for support, maybe they can tell you where the rip is going.

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.

Thanks Jay.  I'll follow your advice and try it again.
