I bought a new laptop with Windows Home Pre. When I try to rip my music from
the cd's that I made with my old pc (running xp home) it will not let me.
It will play the music, but will not let me rip it to my new pc. Any
suggestions?

why don't you simply copy them?

Thanks for the reply. The only thing it will let me do is listen. It will
not copy. I can play and rip cd's from a cd that I bought in a store. I can
download songs and it will rip and burn them. But the ones I burned on
Windows XP will not rip or burn. Somehow I think the files are different. I
have tried everything that I can think of. Thanks

Try this: load the music files in a music edit program like Audacity (fee)
or Goldwave on your Vista machine. If that works save them as wave or MP3 on
your Vista.

What file format are the old files? Is this perhaps a data CD? If so, just
copy them in Explorer. =)
