Ripping by Using the IWMPCdromRip Interface

This section describes how to use the IWMPCdromRip interface to rip music from a CD.

Ripping a CD by using the IWMPCdromRip interface has the same effect as ripping music by using the Windows Media Player user interface. Ripped content is automatically added to the library according to the user's preferences. For more information about CD ripping, see "Ripping music from CDs" in Windows Media Player Help.

The code examples in this section use Active Template Library (ATL) classes, such as CComPtr.
