When I rip a CD onto Windows Media Player, it comes out, 1. 2. .3 ...10. How Can You get the songs to be printed instead of numbers representing the songs.

1. Insert the CD into the computer.
2. Open Windows Media Player.
3. Click the "Rip" button at the top of the audio program. Then, click the arrow directly underneath this arrow. Several options will appear. Choose "Format." More options will appear. Select "Mp3."
4. Click the box found to the right of the "Album" heading near the top of the program. Once you do, every box to the left of the songs on the CD will be selected.
5. Choose "Start Rip" at the bottom of the program. The CD will be saved onto the computer as MP3 files and added to the Windows Media Player library.
6. Plug the MP3 player into the computer.
7. Click the "Sync" button to the right of the "Rip" button at the top of Windows Media Player.
8. Select "Songs" under "Library" in the left column of the software program.
9. Locate the songs on the CD you wish to add to the MP3 player. Select those songs and drag them over to the "Burn List" column on the right side of the media player.
10. Click "Start Sync" at the bottom of the "Burn List" column. The CD will be placed onto the MP3 player.

You have to use the program suggested in the user's manual - Windows Media Player.

Go into Windows Media Player --> click the black arrow under the Rip tab --> Rip Options --> Format --> Mp3

Now re-rip the songs from CD
Delete the versions of the songs that you just ripped from your mp3 player
Now Sync the newly-ripped versions in mp3 format

You should be good to go now

Here's what you want to do. Use Windows Media Player to re-Rip the CD's in Mp3 format. Go to Windows Media Player 11 --> Rip --> Rip Options --> Format --> Mp3 (you can get to Rip options by moving the mouse over the Rip tab, and a small black arrow will appear - click on the arrow).

Once the songs are in true mp3 format, you can then use the Sync tab in Windows Media Player to transfer the songs.

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

Update the firmware.
Reload the songs.
If the problem persists:
Re-rip the CD songs in Mp3 format in Windows Media Player
Then reload the songs. WMA format has a checkable option that is normally turned off by default, but must be turned on inside your Windows Media Player - it is much easier to reconvert the songs into Mp3 format than to tell you how to change this WMA option.

You forgot to tell Windows Media Player which format to put the songs into - if you want to save yourself future headaches, rip them in mp3 format

Rip --> Rip Options --> Format --> Mp3

If you're using Windows, then use Windows Media player to rip your music into WMA. If you don't want to do that, use CDdex to rip your music from CD to MP3. The problem probably lies in whatever program your using to rip your music. To your player. http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
