I haven't use VLC for quite a while, so I download the latest version, 3.0.17.4 Vetinari. Here's what I did:

^ put the disc in the D: drive
^ Click the Disc tab
^ Slected D:\ - Audio CD from the drop-down
^ Click Play

The disc plays OK with Windows Media Player (WMP), but I'm unable to figure out how to rip with WMP.

TIA for you help.

I can confirm the problem. The easiest solution is to locate the disc in Windows File Explorer ---> right click ---> Play with VLC media player. That works for me.

Are you sure to have ticked the Audio CD selection ?
I don't understand why there are other similar reports about opening a disc, either audio or DVD, while it works for other people. Maybe the way VLC uses the drivers for opening the drive ?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

In my particular case Audio CD wasn't selected. Doing that enables playback. Don't ask me why I didn't check that.
