Recently I've been having trouble ripping CDs to my itunes library. The program will rip a song or two and suddenly stall. At this point Itunes becomes unresponsive and makes no more progress on the rip and I can still hear the CD drive attempting to rip the track. I've tried to rip the songs with WMP with no luck and I tried replacing the disk drive which only worked temporarily. Thanks in advance for the help.

Okay it seems to be a codec problem. The .acc format worked. Is that something specific that I download?

hi, if you think that it's a codec problem, then go to device manager and check what audio chipset you're using .. if you're using Realtek you can download the codec from this site ...

For the K-Lite codec pack click here. Download and run the installer. I believe you'll get the chance to select what codecs(formats) you want. No need to select anything that you've already got and which works.
