Windows Media Player (Ripping)

Anyone know how to change Windows Media Player 10 so that when you rip music off a CD it dosen't put each cd in its own folder?

Edit:
Also... Anyone know how to change the default file name?

Example:
Song # 8 is: James Taylor - Fire and Rain
Default File name is: 8 Fire and Rain
I Want: James Taylor - Fire and Rain

The ID3 tags are right... just not the file names

CDEX
dbpoweramp


Better options than WMP10 But I would assume it is in the options menu somewhere.

Found the file name thing, but nothing about the folders. Any Help?

Have you tried Tools-> Options-> Rip Music and under the "Rip music to this location" there's a 'Change' button, you have an option to change the folder location here.

Yea I tried that, but that just changes the location where it puts the folders of each CD. I just want it to put the files right into my music folder, not in seperate album folders.

He beat me to it... I admit I used to use WMP to rip cds when XP first came out. I use CDEX now. The quality difference in NIGHT AND DAY. WMP just doesnt do a good job, cdex also features variable bitrate encoding to get perfect cd quality mp3s at minimal size. It takes 5 mins of your life to install, reads cd titles from online database, and it just insert and click.

I honestly dont think you can rip songs into one big folder with WMP.

Also, ipods cant read WMA, and wmp's mp3s are horrid.

I prefer EAC for ripping.

There's actually 2 places for a filename, ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags that can contain different info. You can use winamp to see both and edit all the data within them. Not filename, but you know what I mean, songname, artist, genre, etc...
