My ControlPC can't rip CDs either. Thank goodness dBpoweramp does!

I think I've read that ControlPC uses the EAC (Exact Audio Copy) engine to do its thing. In any case, EAC does not work on my PC. I would hazard a guess that if you tried EAC to rip a CD you'd have no luck either. In addition, you'll probably get a little more explanation as to why it's not working.

In my case EAC does not like my Bluray burner.
