Have had the same problem for a LONG time... the workaround I use:
Open Windows Media Player, go to Tools ---> Options ---> Rip Music Tab ---> Rip Settings (format) ---> choose "mp3" (and choose bitrate, 256 kb/s is a good bit-rate-to-file-size ratio)
Rip the songs to your hard drive as .mp3, close Windows Media Player, and open iTunes....
Go to File ---> Add file to Library ---> find and highlight new .mp3 and hit ok. iTunes will import as .mp3, you can then right-click on the file and convert to .aac if you choose.
Remember, is just a workaround... hope this helps!

- PPS -- I am assuming your question was directed towards ripping music to your iPod...
If it's not reading a disc period, check the lens for smudges... using a q-tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol, gently swab the lens, rotating it away from the direction you are wiping, to "lift" any dust and grime from the lens... is usually the first problem with "no disk in drive" errors! Good luck! -- RT
