Over the years, I've fixed many a problem that seemed unsolvable by a clean install. I discount those as a bad port or broken cable would cause other issues besides not seeing certain files. If that doesn't fix it, the only thing left would be the motherboard's sata port and/or cable. I'll probably do a clean reinstall of either 10 or maybe 11 one of these days. If I want to listen on my PC, I can just access the appropriate. It was a big effort with over 3,500 or so cds. flac files and plan to sell and/or donate my collection once I'm done. In fact, I'm also nearly done archiving all my cds to. Honestly, I don't have a need to listen to audio CDs in the computer very often. Some were played for the first time so no scratches or imperfections on the discs I can see. The test discs I used are all nearly brand new commercial audio CDs. The music (.cda) files are on the disc as I can extract them and convert to. Scratches and scuffs on the discs can be a problem 'seeing' the files, through off the tracking of the sensor.I agree. Ripping a CD gets the songs and usually with the title as the file name. cda files on a CD to be only a pointer to the actual songs, about 1KB in size, not much can be done with them directly. I have thoroughly searched many forums and the internet, but have been unable to find anyone with the same problem. I'm about to do a repair or perhaps a clean reinstall of Windows 10, but before I do I wanted to check and see if anyone might know of something I might have missed. Since this drive was recently swapped out for another one, it could be a hardware issue with the drive itself or perhaps a Windows 10 file that got corrupted. The CDs show and work fine in other PCs I own such as laptops with drives. This is the same for all the music cds I tried. If I go into 'This PC', select the DVD/CD drive and click open it shows no files as if they do not exist. Last night I decided to play a couple of music cds and none of the programs would recognize the cd such as Media Monkey, Groove Music, WMP, etc. flac files using EAC (Exact Audio Copy).EAC recognizes the music (.cda files) when I insert a commercial music cd. I use it mainly to watch DVDs/Blu-rays and sometimes to convert music files from CDs to. I use a combo Blu-ray/DVD/CD drive in my desktop PC. This is a strange one that has me stumped.
