Thats how they read what songs are on a CD.

Also make sure you're online when you rip or play the cd.
I dont think it will add the data once you have saved the files tho!

If I understand your last comment correctly, I think Windows Media Player wont rip music onto DVDs, you'll need Nero or something similar for that.
